Scott,
The plant you have is a 'Tall Brazilian'/ 'Brazilian' (AAB Pome subgroup). In Hawaii these plants are called 'Apple' bananas, and in the US mainland 'Apple' is normally synonymous with 'Manzano' (AAB Silk subgroup) which is a completely different cultivar. It would be best to not use the names 'Brazilian' and 'Manzano' together in the same name because this can create a lot of confusion because they are both common, but completely different cultivars.


Ok Gabe, thanks for the clarification!!
I was stationed on Oahu, Kaneohe Bay. Lived in Lanikai and we had the Apple Banana trees all over the property. The ones I have now are waaaay to tall to reach the fruit like on the island. The flavor is the same but naming the creature is tough.
Got it Tall Brazilian AAB perfect Gabe.
