I'm growing this out for a friend of a friend who says they are the best tasting banana he's had. He named it after his daughter. I'm thinking possible Dwarf Brazilian? I don't think it's RP or DC. I'll post pics of the male flowers when they start.

7 feet of PS.

Hello Mitchel,

Nice photos! If these are the best tasting bananas you will need to share to have a thorough taste test. I am an official banana taste tester by the way :ha:.

Your Jamacian reds that you gave me are growing and one is pupping! Thanks again!!!

That's awesome Andrew, they must like their new home! I'll send you some of these when they are ready, or you can stop by if your in town, either way. Btw we'll be in Goleta July 11-12 for a trial.

Beautiful flowers, does it always fruit at 7' ? I'd love to have another dwarf, great tasting banana. Thanks for posting Mitchel.

I would love to taste them! If you want to stop by you are more than welcome! I know you will do well in the trial. Your dogs are very well trained!

This is the first flower so it may bloom slightly higher in the following seasons. Hopefully we can ID it for my friend.

Thanks. If I was driving solo I'd take you up on that offer, but I know my wife and dogs will just want to get home after the trial.

I always take pics, and video! We just do Agility and then some herding from time to time just for fun. Had our first AKC trial last weekend, went 3 for 4 Q's with 3 1st place ribbons! The one run she didn't Q was due to a start line self release so mom took her off course to teach her a lesson! Bad dog no agility:ha:

Well we stayed home with two sick dogs so no pics. Some sort of stomach virus. They are on the mend now and getting ready for the next trial August 1st and 2nd.
