Default Re: Dwarffing of my Ele Eles

This brings up a question I've had for a while...I've got a similar situation with Dw. Cavendish. The DC I have I originally obtained about 5 yrs ago while living in St. Louis. It is a pup off of a DC that was about 7' tall at the time I took the pup. The odd thing is, ever since I've been in TX, it has never gotten over 3' tall. It's as if it has suddenly changed into a Super DC or something. I even divided some pups off of it here, took it to where I work where we have much better soil than I have here at home to see if it was a soil/nutrient issue, but it is currently no taller than 2' and we've had a ton of rain this year! Anyone know what could cause something like this? I'm beginning to wonder if it's bad genetics or a genetic mutation. My actual SDC is taller that this plant!
