Thanks, I don't have any info. other than what I have observed. It is a stocky. strong, dwarf, form of Datil that I am growing. It is definitely wind resistant, I have plenty of that here. It produces fruit at 5' to 6' and in my climate, the rate of growth is pretty fast, from pup to flower in about 5 to 6 mos. Most of the bananas I'm growing are for fruit consumption, and this is no exception. I'm still evaluating this one for fruit quality and taste. I've had this variety for a couple of seasons but have moved the entire mat , potted it up, then replanted in another spot.This will be the first year that I get to try a bunch of quality fruit!
