    These fruit will only be about 4 inches in length, but the flavor is not like any bananas that you purchase in the grocery store.

    No, I believe that they came from a "wild" planting some time ago.
    Nearby there is a camping area called BANANA COVE, there are an abundant "plantings" of the bananas. It doesn't take but a small "sucker" pruned from the base of a tall plant to get a "grove" started.
    They are referred to as Cavendish variety.

    To me they have a somewhat citrus flavor.
    Something that you have to try yourself, as everyone has some flavors that do not agree with their taste buds.

    I also have a variety called DWARF CAVENDISH, which the plant does not get over 6-7 feet tall. Last year one of the plants produced a stalk of bananas, which had 126 individual bananas on it. The individual fruit were about 5 inches in length and about 2 inches in diameter.

    The fun has started. Every several days you should see this happen again and again.
    Need to see this photo setup every couple of days.
