These were from AgriStarts, and unfortunately Richard's nice labels came off the pots I transferred them to. One died; I'd like to know what the survivor is. I'm leaning to Truly Tiny. This is now in its 2nd year. Any thoughts?

My vote is for High Color Mini. It seems there are far too many bloodspots on the leaves to be truly tiny, and I see there are still some evident, although a bit faded, on some of the older lower leaves. This wouldnt happen on truly tiny, or any other green bananas that only develop bloodspots on their newest leaves, and then fade to nothing as the leaves age.

Possible, but I failed to mention that it has 2 pups in the pot also. I think you're seeing the newer leaves on the pups as 'old' leaves on the mother plant. The markings do seem to fade on the older leaves, hence my guess. But I may be all confused here, never having had either variety before. Thanks!

This is one of my Trul Tiny planys. It is about 5 months out of the TC 72 cell tray.
