The Dwf Namwah mat has 15 pstems 4 ft & taller & 14 pups 3 ft & smaller. 5 of those are currently fruiting. .... The big corm has 5 pstems; 3 of those are fruiting and 5 pups. Another corm has 4 pstems (1 fruiting) and 4 pups. The other 3 original corms, the pups and pstems are a little more spread out, meaning some of these are corms/pstems that grew from a rhizome and not the mother corm. .... Just a note and using TyTy nursery (TyTy, Ga) pricing; this Dwf Namwah mat is worth about (15 X $180 plus pups 14 X $60) $3500 to $4000. This doesn't include labor to plant, grow & maintain. I have 3 other mats about the same size and 6 other smaller mats still recovering from the big freeze 2-3 years ago.
If winter freeze & next years spring flooding doesn't kill too many of the nanas, I expects at least 5 bunches again on this mat. I do see 3 of this years pstems in this mat (not included in count) did put out new leaves but since died, I think from flooding ????.
