Description

This is the most commonly grown banana in South Florida. The 'Orinoco' is a solid green banana that grows to about 16 feet. If it is crowded it can achieve 20 feet. The fruit is about 8 to 10 inches long and of a angular form. It is quite thick, up to 2 inches and tapered at the tip. There is very little curvature to the fruit. The fruit can ripen on the plant without splitting. When ripe the fruit is very delicious. The fruit is often cooked when green either fried or sometimes boiled. The 'Orinoco' is a hardy plant and withstands cold temperatures well. It stands up to winds well but must be supported when carrying large heads of fruit. Their fruit is sometimes called 'Donkey bananas'
