Unknown bananas

Dean W. · 05-17-2008, 05:42 PM

I bought some banans off Craig's List. I got a good deal I think. I got a number of plants for $20. The owner said they get small green fruit. He also said, they didn't taste that good. I wonder if he harvested them to soon. Here's some pictures.

I know you probally need a picture of the flower before you can judge. I will take some more picture of the plants.

I got a total of seven bananas all big. Now I have to find a place to plant them all.

Orinoco? It's always a good guess.

Dean W. · 05-18-2008, 10:16 AM

Thanks, Nate, now I have a good lead.

modenacart · 05-18-2008, 12:14 PM

Thats what I would say right off hand, but who knows right now.

xavierdlc61887 · 05-18-2008, 12:20 PM

i thought orinoco had a light reddish tint in the middle leaf

modenacart · 05-18-2008, 12:40 PM

Mine are pretty much all green. On the underside of the midrib they have a pink tint and when they are small they seem to have a pink line around the leaf, but that seems to have mostly gone away when it gets larger. There is no verigation on the leafs even when small.

xavierdlc61887 · 05-18-2008, 01:56 PM

lol yes that is what i meant moden

thanks for the right naming it right and not just " light reddish tint in the middle leaf" :P:P:P:P ok well mine is about 4 feet tall and has a pup with what u just mentioned

Dean W. · 05-18-2008, 04:03 PM

I'll have to get a picture of some leaves.

Dean W. · 05-18-2008, 06:37 PM

bottom of leaf...

top of leaf...

natedogg1026 · 05-18-2008, 09:34 PM

That's a good observation Fernie. It doesn't seem to have any red. Here's an small Orinoco I had last year.

modenacart · 05-18-2008, 09:42 PM

My orinoco doesn't have a good leaf on it right now. Maybe in a couple of weeks I can get a good picture of one.

xavierdlc61887 · 05-18-2008, 09:49 PM

Dean W. · 07-24-2008, 07:32 PM

modenacart · 08-02-2008, 07:38 AM

The first and the second don't look like orinoco to me. I have no idea what they might be.

magicgreen · 08-02-2008, 10:52 AM

The 6th one looks like it may be ice cream.

Dean W. · 08-02-2008, 04:45 PM
