Cheers jeffrey.

From what I understand there's not much chance of fruiting Little Prince and I thought Truly Tiny was a bit like a brand name for one companies SDC TCs?

My SDC came labelled as "Musa 'Tropicana'", it was from a German chain of cheaper supermarkets that got quite popular in the UK in recent years. A little bit of researched told me that it's just a synonym for SDC.

This is my best bet for fruit I'm sure. But I'm not going to be content with that, I don't want to just be able to say "I grew nanas in the UK".

Nobody in the UK seems to realise that a banana is anything other than a Cavendish fruit (in fact it seems to be popular belief that a plantain is something totally different). If I'm going to do it, I want to do it in style! Something that looks or tastes a bit different!

Dwarf Lady Fingers seems like an option, but of course it's a case of availability.
