Hey Lemmysports, that's great! Despite its rep, I still think the dwarf cavendish is a classic banana variety. It's good to hear that they flowered in around a year! I currently have one in a 19 gallon pot, but it's been a slow grower. This will be its second year, but it spent a huge chunk of last year indoors and didn't get out of its one gallon pot and outside until two months into this year's growing season. It seems to be finally starting to take off, so I think it was due to poor growing conditions. What height did your plant flower? Also, how did the flavor compare to the ones in the supermarket?
