Hello! I live in South West Florida just miles from Siesta Key. We recently discovered (Dec-Jan time frame) that we have banana plants!! ����
My only knowledge of them comes from googling like crazy, making sure I'm taking care of them... I will post pictures of fruiting with flower and current state (my hand for size reference in newest photos)

Helping to ID would be great...and also any tips...
I have a nice cluster that now keeps popping out new pups and suckers like no ones business.. new leaves growing weekly.. and I have a loner plant directly across the yard, doing great on its own and has new pups and a sucker.. tips on how many of them to keep, should I space them out more, should I remove any of them or any old corms, etc..

Thanks so much! Looking forward to learning more!

Burro banana, aka Orinoco.. some like them full ripe, some like to cook them when green.. they have a triangular shape to them and racks are usually pretty sparse like yours. i know a mexican guy that eats them every day ripe or cooked.
