Default ID my bananas

I have one thought in my intro post that they might be burro so I dug around a MUSA book and think they may be dwarf Orinoco. Any thoughts?
Grown in central Florida. They were volunteers that popped up in some composting material I have.
Additional info they have 3 sides almost triangle shape

They are Orinoco for sure, but cant tell dwarf or tall from the photos, need to see the plant. How tall was it? The dwarfs are generally 6ft or under, and rather stocky, whereas the talls tend to be over 6ft and more slender, though the exact heights can change dramatically with conditions, but the statures are different.

Gabe posted before me. I agree they are Orinoco also called burro. The 3 side triangular shape of the finger (before filling out) is characteristic of the Orinoco. ... These are wide spread in Florida gardens since the early & mid 1900's.

When the fingers have filled out but haven't ripened they are starchy and can be fried for Tostones. ... If you want to eat them out-of-hand then let the fingers get very ripe but not too soft for a sweet apple-ish taste.
