Maerl - I saw your thread about the Banana awhile back and it took me awhile to get off my butt and get these pics for you, but these plants are in my back yard. I just want you to know that I am working on preserving the Banana Plant.

edited - I have an excellent recipe for dried honey banana chips too!

From: someone
A banana is a herb, in the genus Musa, which because of its size and structure, is often mistaken for a tree. It is cultivated for its fruit, which bears the same name. Bananas are of the family Musaceae and closely related to plantains.

Total Floriduh flashback... we had those in my yard growing up as a wee lad.

The bananas never tasted good though. :(

Probably the difference between plantains and bananas. One is sweet and mushy when ripe and the other is starchy, more like a potato. I like Plantains fried, served with rice and beans but you can't just eat them without cooking them. It's a standard Cuban dish here.

Mine at home are the sweet kind. I cut them up and soak them in honey water and then dehydrate them into chips. My husband LOVES them. :)
