Locally they call em' Hawaiian plantains, ( In the DR Platano Hawaiana ) My wife loves them when she can get some. not sure of the official name though.

I believe they are these, Musa Hua Moa.

Here is a link that might be useful: Hua Moa

I don't think these are Hua Moa. They don't look fat enough. But, I'm not sure what they are.

For sure: not Manzano, not Hua Moa. The fruit and plant look similar to Blue Java, nut not 100% sure...

I agree with the not Hua Moa or "Hawaiian Plantains". Not fat enough and the end not blunt enough. These look to be like a banana to me...

Rob

They don't look like Hua Moa. I'm just going to have to report back in a couple of weeks or so. Felipe, how do Blue Java taste??

JF

My guess would be Nam Wah.

Ok if they are Banana's and not plantains, maybe they are Cardaba bananas.

After last post, I noticed your mystery banana is not as blunt as the Cardaba, only other one I have come across that looks similar is the Burro Banana.

On the last pictures it does not look like blue java at all... no idea which cv that is.

JF, I have not tasted BJ, I'm still waiting for my plant to fruit...

Felipe,

what are those trees to the right and the left of the platanos? mangos? I'll keep you updated how these bananas taste.

JF

Yes, Gomera and other old unknown mangos. The fruit is good, but not excellent. I will keep those trees until my new trees are big. Then I will remove the old ones, since irrigation water is so expensive and I'm not interested in selling fruit..
