Default Re: Gros Michel Reunion

Thanks for all your replies! Seeing how long and graceful some of your petioles and leaves are and the height of your pseudostems, I agree that it is not likely that my plants are Gros Michel. My only hope now is Ventura's theory of somatic mutants (whatever that is). Gosh, I hope that my plants are not more dwarf Cavendish. I have so many already that I am trying to give them to random people passing by my house. I even take my potted up Cavendish pups to family get-togethers and sort of "abandon" them in hopes that someone will give them a home. If they are not Gros Michel, perhaps they'll be something other than Cavendish.

I hope that more people respond to this thread. I know that there are lots more people out there who purchased Gros Michel around the same time. Let us know how you are progressing.
