Anyone think this is not Orinocco?
This was labeled "Lady Finger". If is a lady's finger, she must have "man hands".

Re: Anyone think this is not Orinocco?
Looks like my Dwf Orinoco bunches. Sharp angled fingers and bunch size. Try eating a yellow one and yule know. Seasonal comment - sorry.

Re: Anyone think this is not Orinocco?
The fruits have the angular shape but they look a little small - my dwarf orinoco had fruits much the same size as the tall variety - big enough for 2 to share!

Re: Anyone think this is not Orinocco?
I'm totally jealous. Mine are like those in the photos and 6" to 7" long.

Re: Anyone think this is not Orinocco?
If you lived in the tropics Richard, you wouldn't have to be jealous. The Brazilian ("Hawaiian apple") and Bluggoe ("Orinoco") bananas in Hawaii were WAY bigger than anything I've seen grown in CA. Go figure, tropical plants do better in tropical conditions! But at least we don't have BBTV or Sigatoka.
