Banana dwarf identification
Hello!
I'm new to this site and i'm hoping to finally find out the right latin name for my banana plants. The left picture is of a bananaplant I bought and was named "Musa Oriental Dwarf" and the right one was named "Musa Tropicana". On the internet I noticed that Tropicana is a synonym for Musa Super Dwarf Cavendish, but I can't find a synonym for the Oriental Dwarf. So 2 questions: 1)Is my tropicana (right) a Super Dwarf Cavendish? 2)Wat is the real latin name for my left banana? Thank you! Michael |

Re: Banana dwarf identification
Thank you!
Is there a clear way to identify the difference between Dwarf and Super Dwarf? Or only possible when they are full size? Gr. Michael |

Re: Banana dwarf identification
The leaves are pretty short (esp the petioles), and there is very little height difference between where they emerge from the p-stem. No way would I think that was a dwarf cav.
Your plants don't look starved for nutrients, so unless it is a SDC, there would be no other explanation for such compact growth. |

Re: Banana dwarf identification
Thank you! Just what I needed tot hear. Yes, I give them regular fertilizers. I will look at my other dwarfs, to hopefully also find a regular dwarf.
