It is a vigorous grower, sporting a thick trunk and an ability to fruit within a year. Visually, it is identifiable by its entirely green trunk. You can anticipate finding fruit bunches of up to 5 ‘hands’ of 6-inch long, angular bananas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe  Venezuela-native Orinoco creates outstanding fruit which ripens without splitting, thanks to its extra-thick skin. Those outstanding fruits can be heavy on the dwarf tree, so ensure to give it support when carrying large heads of fruit! Biting into a ripe Orinoco bears a silky, sweet experience with a hint of a strawberry undertone. You can eat it out of hand during its starchy green-yellow stage or ripen it to banana-bread brightness to experience its ideal sweetness. The Orinoco is a favorite for frying due to its ideal firmness. \u003c\/span\u003eBut don’t just take our word for it, fry up some home-grown fritters of your own!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sow Exotic","offers":[{"title":"Medium Coconut Coir Pot","offer_id":48700442673395,"sku":"BAN-ORI-M","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"X-Large Coconut Coir Pot","offer_id":48700442706163,"sku":"BAN-ORI-XL","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0311\/8094\/7593\/files\/sow-exotic-tropical-fruit-tree-medium-coconut-coir-pot-banana-dwarf-orinoco-musa-acuminata-37951586402547.png?v=1776022766","url":"https:\/\/practicalmagicstore.com\/products\/banana-dwarf-orinoco-musa-acuminata","provider":"Practical Magic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
