Default Unknown Cavendish ?

This came from local nursery as "banana" 4 yrs ago.
Now it's the 4rth time it fruits, and it seems that the outlook this time is good.
Any idea of what it is or we must wait for the male flowers?
Height now is exactly 10ft.

Yeah, I'm not sure either, but that's one of the coolest shots of a yellowjacket in mid-flight that I've ever seen! Very nice.

Nice color on the first fingers.

And what a great shot of those yellowjackets!
You caught it's wings in still motion.
Do you know the shutter speed you used to shoot that pic?

I can't help you but what kind of camera you have?
It must be very expensive.
And the yellow jacket picture is a WOW!

Jarred,
the shot was taken with 1/1000 Shutter Speed, 7.1 Apperture Value, in Shutter(speed) priority Shooting mode.

Benny,
my camera is a dSLR Canon, EOS Digital Rebel (aka EOS 300D in Europe), with an EF 28-105mm lens.
