It will develop its characteristic aroma, only when cultivated in higher elevations.
As he stated "Actually this Hill Banana is called as VIRUPAKSHI and it is native of Sirumalai Hills near Kodaikanal in TamilNadu. This is cultivated in an elevation of 2500 to 2700 feet MSL. The fruit is a small fruitis Yellow in colour with thick Rind and sweater taste.
If you have got such Elevation in your country then you can cultivate the Hill Banana."

Las Vegas is pretty close, at 2028 feet above sea level! They should do well over there. Somehow, I was under the impression that LV is closer to 4000 ft.
Don't sweat the taste thing, Scot. I don't know about these other guys, but the inside of my wife's sweater tastes great when she's in it!
