Nice pics, and nice plant too! Are those seeds I see in the fourth picture in the split fruit?

Those are not seeds. They are black areas. This is surely a common banana, but I do not know which banana cultivar. Thanks for your interest. KeyWest

Your bananas are beautiful and appear to be extremely similar to the bananas on my plant. Your assessment is most likely correct. Thanks for your help. -- KeyWest.

I wish that was my stalk but its NOT .The pictures are from the Banana Collection at the USDA in P.R. When I was a kid my pops had the Manzano variety in the yard.Maybe someone else could confirm the ID.
Good Luck!
