Would you believe I got an order for that apple Cuban banana at a flea market? From the lady who sold me a crocodile fern (she has many neat plants). No doubt she knew it, had tasted the 3" fruit it produces and she wants it. If I'm willing to pick another up, she'd appreciate it. Heck if I get one and it pups, she wants to buy some. I told her where the seller is and directed her to CL so maybe she'll go that direction; I just collect these. But apparently pet names are well known to locals. (Darn, I wish I'd asked her about fingerlings; I'm still stumped on that one.)
