Gros Michel banana

[fr8train]

I bought these on ebay a few months back, and I was wondering if anyone else has ever grown them and what theirs looked like? I tried googling to see what other small Gros Michel look like, but nothing came up. I wonder if they're legit, or if I was sold some other more common variety.

Here's what mine looks like at a similar size. For what it's worth, i find the flavor of these to not be much different than Cavendish, and they are much less cold tolerant than some other bananas i have that i find tastier, like nam wah and blue java.

Mine is super sensitive to the cold too. They would burn once the temperature fell below 50f. Where did you get yours? Do you have any pictures of them as adults?

Mine is from a fruit grower in Sarasota. I don't have any pictures of the adults but they lose the striping when the grow larger. They pretty much look like my other bananas.
