Default Re: Is this a Dwarf Cavendish?

if the leaves have the red spots and the stem is mostly green with maybe a hint of rust with a few dark spots or markings on the p stem it could be dwarf cavendish..it would look a lot like mine. pull some of that dead material off the p stem to help id it..

update: i have pics of what i believe to be gran nain and what i believe to be cavendish.. i see more of the big box store selling the dark red stem bananas with the red leaf spots as gran nain and the mostly green ones with the red leaf spots as dwarf cavendish..maybe they could all be wrong right along with me.
(i know a few of the big box stores make mistakes at times .. my garden is proof of it.) i obtained both my cavs and nains from small nurseries not big box sources..(i know it still maybe a big coincidence).
