Hello,
Can anybody tell me the differences between "Super Novak" and "Super Musa Dwarf Cavendish".
Which one of the two is the one that I have( picture.)?

Thank You,

Your photo is not showing. That variety goes by either name.

In contrast to what most say about these two, I remember reading a thread where someone mentioned they are not exactly the same. But very similar however.

They are the same. I also have Musa Miska, Musa Banana and other, which are all Musa 'Super Dwarf Cavendish'.
No difference at all, just a marketing move.

I've never heard of Super Novak, but I have heard of Novak and it is the same as SDC from all I've ever read.

Well now I don't really know, whether it isn't Musa 'Little Prince'... :waving:

All of the 'Little Prince' plants I've seen are smaller than that and have a considerable amount of red in the leaves.

Thanks,
Maybe these close-ups will help a little .
Anyway Ian trying to ID and Label my bananas ,I make my first purchase of bananas plants (6 plants)in the summer of 2007 .
All was going good in till I lost my book in Dec/2007 with all my garden notes including all info on my six bananas (name etc) and all my garden plants.
So ,I find myself now all this time searching for info , some of then flower/fruit and some not .
I think one is Kandria and one is Saba both are over 20’feet tall .But four are without id .
I will be post more pics of the others bananas.
