Default Re: Yield in dwarf varieties vs tall ones

Yield, per plant, is equal for dwarf Nam Wah and regular Nam Wah. You can plant a lot more dwarf plants per acre, so in a commercial setting dwarf plants are preferred. However, I have noticed that tall plantains tend to produce longer, cleaner fruits. From a quality side, that is important. That being said, the dwarf varieties are just so much easier to manage.

Is the yield in a dwarf Nam Wa equal to the yield in a tall Nam Wa? or any other variety for that matter.
