Dar,

I mentioned on another thread about Logee's Dwarf Ladyfinger that I talked to Byron Martin, one of the owners of Logee's about this cultivar. This is what he told me:

"I don't know it by another name. It came to us from Hawaii about 15 years ago as a sample plant under its present name. We do the tissue culture here at Logee's."

In short, nobody seems to know what it is. Maybe we'll be able to figure out what it is (with the help of our resident experts) if one of us gets one to fruit and takes lots of photos of the inflorescence as it progresses. Brian (Nanaman) has had his fruit. Maybe he can weigh in on what it tastes similar to, which might narrow things down a little.

Mine dwarf ladyfinger is looking good. Babied through the winter, keeping it inside and on a heating mat when it was really cold and wet. But still a very long way off from being big enough to make fruit!
