I'd be curious how the water suckers do if you plant them in ideal conditions with plenty good soil and fertilizer if they then regain whatever vigor was lost and become just as productive as swords..

I have just planted a Dwarf Cavendish water sucker in what one would describe as ideal conditions just outside my bedroom window. The leaves are laden with purple splotches and the plant is barely 8 inches in height. It will grow slowly, bear a relatively small bunch of fruit but the ratoons will be quite normal. I'll take a pic of it and put it into my own gallery here shortly.
