Do the seeded dwarf ornamental ones have wine stains?
Do the seeded dwarf ornamental's flower/bananas look the same as the super dwarf Cavendish? Is there a way to make sure that these are the eatable kind?

Thank you, I will update with the latest pictures as it gets bigger.
I believe all banana are edible. I have never heard of a poisonous banana plant before. I know some banana plants produce bananas with seeds. The bananas with seeds might not taste good but I'm sure they are safe to eat. You might just get a mouth full of seeds on the ornamental varieties.

I think your plant is a super dwarf Cavendish too.

Nice plant thanks for the pictures.
Susan
