Good Morning!!

Taking a look through my pics & wanting to log the growth on our individual plants, I was amazed at the growth on the Truly Tiny banana that I bought from Scot(Chironex) in late July.

Here it is as received: (Between the Cheeka & Dasycarpa)...and potted up:

I feel it's growing really well considering I have only fed it fertilizer twice since the beginning of August...

How are all of your doing?

PICS!!! :D ~Cheryl

I had mine since summer '06 - a 2 inch tc, & it grew VERY slow untill this year. I potted up 3 times just this year! P stem is just over 12 inches. Weird that this is the first year it got any coloring!
Yours looks like it is growing great!! How tall is it? Hard to tell in pic.

truly tiny was a mutation of the brazilian banana. The original plant came from Truly Tropicals in Boynton Beach, FL.

I measured the Mama & pup today:

Mama: 8 inches P-stem height,

Pup: Almost 6" P-stem Ht.

Otherwise they're about 13 - 15" from base to top leaf - the pup sending up it's leaves is taller for the moment! :D ~Cheryl

Wow- I always thought it was a dwarf of a dwarf cavendish.
Thanks for the info!
