What medium are you using to plant them in? (milled peat, etc.) Are you using bottom heat?
The flesh is sweet
I've heard that 80% humidity is good for ultra tropicals
75% might be enough although more would be better than less I figure. What temperature are you planning on, that could be more important than slight differences in humidity?
Not many of the true dwarfs are that great. There are vaious Cavendish type and Grand Nain but they will be basically a deluxe grocery store banana.
For taste, I love red bananas. The Dwarf Red is execllent but will still get 8-9+ feet tall.
Raja Puri is an excellent banana that will get 6-8+ feet.
Two excellent bananas on the taller side are Pisang Raja and Kandrian.
Truly Tiny are at best, average. So not recommend if growing for eating quality.
Have you tasted Musa velutina? Plant is more grown for ornamental purposes. Yes, the scant fleah can be eaten but again, not recommended based on quality. Oh, make sure your dentist is on speed dial for when you bite down on one of the seeds.
Speaking of seeds, they can take many many month to germinate, like 4-6 months. Germinating in a seed house with a seed mat would be beneficial.
Velutina is solely for ornamental purposes. I've heard good things about truly tiny, but if it is so bad, what dwarfs do you recommend for eating?
What are your height limits?

I ha e organically grown musa velutina seeds just harvested them, small pups don't seem to ship well from my experience
Hi,
I am an old chef who recognizes nearly all foodstuffs, including exotic fruits. The picture was taken from a vehicle in Thailand or Vietnam (maybe Indonesia?).
I CANNOT find out what this is!!!
It's not durian, nor jackfruit, breadfruit or any other large fruit I am familiar with.
Maybe a mutant pineapple with the tops removed already? How do I post a pix of it?
Thanks for any ideas.
