Banana Q's
« on: April 10, 2024, 09:43:39 PM »
I have several "dwarf" banana plants and all throw out a flag leaf at around 4'-5' and their leaves are all rather long at ~4'-5'.

One plant sends out a flag leaf with the plant still under 3' in height but the last few leaves before the flag are stunted almost as small as the flag leaf itself. Weird.


Is this one be some cultivar other than what I "think" I have, those being dwarf mysore and dwarf cavendish. Is there another named cultivar that fits this one's growth habit?

Regards,

The smaller top leaves before the flower is normal.

As far as I know, there is such thing as Dwarf Mysore. If there is I want one. Mysore is a vigorous grower and produces huge bunches of delicious bananas.
