While making my patrol of my yard today I found two bunches ready for harvest. One was an Orinoco or Tall Namwah. The other was a Dwarf Cavendish a first for me. Wow that is undoubtedly my best bunch yet. There were about five edible hands and they were just perfect. This is the banana I need to be growing more of! The Dwarf Cavendish will be replacing several of my mats that have as yet to do much and I think my tall mats that are a pain to support and harvest.
Now if I can get my Dwarf Reds to produce.

Fantastic - Congrats on the cavendish - I'm jealous
Darn, I gave away a bunch of pups! But, of course, I have lots more.

Jose this was the mats that were flower pot escapes and were in complete shade. I never intentionally planted them and they were never fertilized. You saw them several weeks ago when you were over. Also my Saba has sent out a bloom larger than a football. It is huge. I hope it can fill out before frost but that is iffy.

Wow Charles, I've never been able to even get a bloom from DC. Awesome!
