Re: starting out
What we call "Oritos" here are a dwarf tree that bears a huge bunch of very sweet and tasty, although small size-wise, dessert bananas. The flesh has a slightly pink cast, and the skin is very thin. I'm not sure of cold-hardiness, but I have seen people here in Quito, where it goes to about +3 when it's cold, growing them in containers inside their house's interior courtyards. The scientific name on that one is, I beleive, Musa sapientum.
