...my other burning question...
My grandparents have been growing bananas since sometime in the 60's. My dad took some of that stock and now grows them on his property and I have some as well. They're tasty but nobody remembers what variety they are. They don't seem to grow more than 6 or 8 feet tall so I suspect they might be dwarf Cavendish. The fruit are small though, maybe four or five inches long at the most and the few references to the actual fruit of the dwarf Cavendish that I found seemed to suggest that though the plant is small the fruit are normal sized. Does it sound like I have dwarf Cavendish or maybe something else?
