My RP mat makes more fruit than two hands on a 4' plant, but it definitely isn't nearly as productive or vigorous as Dwarf Namwah. Over the 4 or so years I've been growing them, I'd estimate that the DN mat has made 10 times more pounds of bananas than RP. In my climate, the "Namwah" varieties (Dwarf, "Misi Luki", "Belle", "Ice Cream") are the most productive bananas I grow. If only they had my favorite flavor. Not that I consider them bad, just not my favorite.
