Saw these bananas at the nursery show. The tag says, "s. d. banana". Iwould guess that this means they're Super Dwarf Cavendish. What do you think?

Hi Johny, I have had these for at least three years. Tag on mine says Super Dwarf(Musa acuminata Novak) they reproduce like crazy. I put
some of the pups in the ground for the summer and they got about 30in.
tall and had reddish thick pseudo stems. I dug them to store with my thai
blk and ensete. Raggedy:2722:

It also looks like the one I bought at Home Depot last year labled "cheeka".

which booth were they at? If they were at agristarts, then they're prob high color mini or little prince. If they were at sunshine hort, they are "mini" the ones I usually sell.

Hi Sandy, They weren't at either. They were in a display, near the center of the show, next to the Fla. Nursery Growers Assn. booth.

They look like the Super Dwarf Cavendish that I have in stock for Farmers' Market sales.
