Harvey, they were even smaller than the one's Dr. Wallace grew in the ground, lol. He reported them to be around 3 inches. Mine were between 1 and 2 inches! I hope that being in a pot in the greenhouse contributed to the average flavor. BTW, I weighed one for you. 1 ounce! LOL! It was never a problem keeping it watered, since it was kept at the greenhouse where I work every day, and I water every day anyway. It probably didn't get the proper nutrition though, although I fertilized it weekly...
weakly. It was stressed also, and didn't have enough leaves for much of a bunch. I still don't know though...I have tasted Dwarf Cavendish from our same greenhouse, and it was pretty good. I still prefer the old grocery store bananas though.
Carmensol, I don't have any pups for sale...yet.

I've found it difficult to always keep my plants watered, etc. in pots but that's always a temporary situation for me. |
