Thanks for your reply. I've also seen some big groves of them on I-10/610 in New Orleans.
When I first started looking at different type bananas, they pretty much looked all the same and I'm just now starting to learn the differences in varieties. From the info gathered, I've came to the conclusion that most of the local bananas are "Orinocos" or the "Cavendish" type. But our bananas here in South Alabama are nothing like what I see in louisiana, generally speaking. Probably the same variety grown in better soil and conditions. I'm also wondering if they could be alot older? It's just breath taking to see these growing wild along roads. I stopped along side the road this summer and picked one of the ripe bananas and it was a little smaller and sweeter than the store bought bananas.
