Nothing wrong with Home Depot/Lowes banana plants, just be prepared that they might not be what the glossy label says they are.

Re: Abacaxi Pineapple Plant
Nice. Congratulations.
Have you tried the Sugarloaf variety yet? It is also a white fruit, nice and sweet with an edible core. I have 10 plants fruiting right now.
