my apple bananas

I feel like you could have clarified that you were talking about a banana cultivar in your original response! I've not come across Lanzunan / Manzana bananas as a concept and was utterly confused when you switched fruit.

Gros michel is a cultivar, Cavendish is a cultivar, Tahitian blues a cultivar, and "apple banana" is cultivar, but also an often used name for "unnamed cultivar".

The difference is as big as the difference between a Fuji apple and a granny smith. They're practically different fruit.
