      Locally this variety of banana is knowwn as “fig kochon”, “fig diven”, and possibly other local names. but I understand that its common name is “apple banana”.

      Boss…this is not Corcoy. Corcoy is different. If you need help ask a local farmer. :-D :-D :-D

      This is not Corcoy,this is another variety of bananas. They also call it pisanrogers (excuse my spelling) and it is also called ‘reckeh negre’ by some where I grew up. Lol. In all honesty it does look a bit like a certain body part.
