Well here is another sign that more water makes a huge difference. About 9 months ago I started putting in a lawn just on the other side of the fence from this Dwarf Brazilian. It now has the thickest pseudostem and biggest bunch of any DB I've grown. It has clearly benefitted from the months of regular watering of the lawn. The DB just a couple feet away from it is nowhere near as large. If I wasn't on catchment, I would water all my bananas this much!

This one also began blooming recently. Not sure what it is, maybe another Williams?
