Default Re: Is there a dwarf ladyfinger?

Casa Del Gatos, if headroom is an issue the Misi Luki is Out! I don't know what #'s you have on that plant but I am pretty sure a fellow near me has them fruiting at like 11 0r 12ft of trunk. Definately not a Dwarf.

Raja Puri fruits at about 6.5ft for me and is hands down THE best tasting banana I have had yet. They are also relatively small (lady fingerish). Especially depending on your growing conditions.

You need to take a closer look at Southerngrowers setup. He fruits Dwarf Orinoco and Raja Puri in his greenhouse. I believe 12ft headroom?

Dwarf Namwah is also tooooo tall for your proposed greenhouse. I believe they bloom at 9ft.
