More fruit coming from the lot I bought last August. Both of these took 10 months to flower.

What I am pretty sure is Tall Orinoco based on how well they did under the house in winter, my phone does not zoom in very clearly but you can see the spear shaped bloom/bracts emerging at the top of the tallest. Hopefully we will be able to confirm that is what it is when flowers start showing.

/\ that guy up there and guy below are not the same!


Here are some comparisons of the flag leaf n flag leaf coloring




Any ideas?

I got this plant from my neighbor. He never let the bananas develope so I don't know what kind it is. The flower is very colorful when it opens.

It looks like you think it might be Orinoco, from the photo name. I think that's a good guess. The fruit are so distinctive that you'll know soon.

As the flower opens the color seems to fade.

Looks like Orinoco. They have beautiful, colorful flowers and widely spaced fingers.

We got this mystery pup from a friend at work, wife had some at work and of course took no pictures LOL She described it as smaller and fatter than a cavendish. So thinking some sort of manzano banana? Flowers at ends of bananas are clear/white. hands of 16, in rows of 8 (not sure if that is same for all bananas, new at this) Very excited we got it to come this far, hope it has a good fruit set.

Ubok Iba Banana - been in the ground about 9 months






Also blooming in our yard now are dwarf orinoco, raja puri, and my favorite - sweetheart.


We have 38 banana varieties planted in the yard now (thanks to Rmplmnz for many of our new additions)

I haven't tried Sweetheart. What makes it your favorite?

It's one I've been thinking about trying, but something else would have to get the axe to make room for it.

It is my current favorite due to superior disease resistance, height is decent for cutting off individual hands, flavor is very good whether eaten when freshly turned yellow or slightly over ripe. The leaves of ours are also fairly wind tolerant - though the leaves of PRGiants sweetheart look pretty tattered. It was planted at the same time as a Goldfinger and Kandarian in the same mat and has grown at double the rate. It is a nice/ stout looking plant. I do prop when fruiting due to the heavy bunch weight. Seems the most tolerant of water and fertilization fluctuations as well.
