It seems there is much confusion among cultivars.. there are two groups of people group 1 considers all banana plants bananas (or plants in general) and don't care about variety at all and group 2 is very specific about variety.. when I bought my dwarf brazilian at a nursery.. they called it dwarf brazilian.. then they also called it apple it tastes a a lot like the hawaiian "apple" banana i've tasted from stores (which thanks to your explaination I now understand is really brazilian). Very sweet with an acid undertone.. like an apple.. YUM

it is confusing though!
