2 q's
Hello all! New to the forum and the world of bananas and happy to have found this great site. i have a couple of questions regarding some recent local acquisitions. 1st is a plant sold to me as a cuban sweet plantain; haven't been able to find anything under the search, wiki, etc. so any guesses?
[IMG][/IMG] 2nd plant same source given to me as a dwarf red but i am pretty sure this is not a dwarf red... my guess is a high color mini but i would like opinions from folks more experienced than I [IMG][/IMG] Thanks in advance. I am going to go now and watch my gators whoop up on the tigers |

Re: 2 q's
I can tell you the second plant is not D. red. Check out Encanto Farms for info on the plantain.

Re: 2 q's
it would be a mini or high color mini most likely. Does it have a really stocky stem? Also is the stem red or green. Dwarf red has a red stem. #1 could be anything as far as I'm concerned...I don't have a lot of experience with plantains.

Re: 2 q's
Plantains are just a type of banana, but you don't have one. It looks to me like 'Namwah' which is common in your area. Commonly any banana which people cook with tends to get called a plantain, but it really doesn't matter. You can cook with it or eat it ripe, it is popular both ways.
