The Cavendish
   similar to the Gros Michal young suckers are bright red, the fruit is greenish at ripeness, the fruit tips are blunt with immunity to the devastating Panama Disease. In the case of both varieties the fruit is 5 times longer than it is wide and markedly curved.  

This variety requires special care to avoid bruising and advanced techniques to ripen evenly.  The Dwarf Cavendish, a clone of the Cavendish, gets its name not from the fruit but from the height of the stalks and is used in cooler climates were its yields are very good.
