During the first couple generation you will get only once bunch from one plant. Succeeding generations, and if you're lucky, the next generation pups will put out more than one bunch per pseudostem, but depends on growth, health and overall size of your mat. Yes the fruits are no different than other cavendishes. There is also a chance of mislabeled plants. I don't think we will be able to attain double bunches in Northern California, as the pseduostem dies back to the ground completely each season, let alone fruit just one.

BTW, Double Mahoi seems to be redundant. Mahoi already means twin. So Double twins means 4, but could happen under excellent conditions in the tropics.
