Hi TNAndy,
Yes, you got it! TT stands for "Truly Tiny" and "DC" stands for Dwarf Cavendish. Oftentimes, people will abbreviate banana variety names to an acronym. I guess it's easier to write than the full name in a post. The one that took me forever to learn was "EE", which stands for "Elephant Ears." lol "TC" stands for tissue culture. It's one of the main methods of propagating banana plants. Most bananas don't produce seeds, so they have to be reproduced either using laboratory culturing "Tissue Culture" or by separating the little pups that pop up next to the mother plant. Hope this helps!
