I've also tried dwarf Cavendish, double mahoi, thousand finger, but found at random in my travels, without researching. They seem to take big hits in the winter and spend the rest of the summer recovering back to where they were. I may bail on those.
haven't got very many, 30 or better. I love the namwa don't have any dwarves that I know of. blue java, praying hands, kandarin and ladyfinger last thru the winter very very well. got some unconfirmed iholenas doing fantastic also. manzanos are wimps in the winter but grow fast . I cant understand why they want to sell dc and gran nains in florida worst growing bananas I got;
