Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

From a distant it looks like it but can not be sure without a flower. I've grown DB and fruited and harvested before but I am not an expert.

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

Another week and the flower should be showing .Thanks

not at all unusual for them to fruit at that hight DB are fast fruiter's they can flower in as little as 7 months

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

I am still not 100% sure if it is a Dwarf Brazilian. I think by tomorrow there will be flowers showing.

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

Tony that is one cool plant. Dwarf Brazilian do they make a good greenhouse banana plant.

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

Well I guess it depends on how big your greenhouse is. It's about 10 or 11ft. to the top of the leaves. Maybe a dwarf ladyfinger or Super Dwarf would be a better choice.

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

Are there flowers showing?

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

So you confirm it as a Dwarf Brasilian? I don't know spit about the flower difference.

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

I know less than spit. I got these pups last year ,twenty , and I know some were D.Brazilian so I beleive that is what it is. I am going by the size of the plant right now.

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

The flowers do look like my Tall Brazilian if that's any help.

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

That does help.I will have better pics in a few days. Thanks

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

My Talls dont seem to have as much pink color. Just a little striping on the top of the flowers. It does darken a bit after a day or so though.

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

Maybe we can get Gabe15 to make a call on this one....he seems to be a pretty smart fellow

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

16 fingers on the first hand whatever it is

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

Alright...how do we get a call on this one? Can we send this thread to anybody who knows? Now, I need to know for sure....making me a little crazy...

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

Tony, thanks for the gorgeous pictures

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

Yeah, yeah Tony's a great guy! ;-)

But can you ID with 100% certainty?

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

looking good i cant wait untill my DB fuites you are such a teas!lol

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

My plant

Comparing these flowers I don't think I have Dwarf Brazilian

Brazilian flower from Wiki

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

I was thinking that a couple of days ago. But what is it? Being as I have a pup, I am extremely interested in what I now have.....Belle? Mona Lisa?

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

Can you send these to Gabe15 and get his opinion?

Re: Could this be Dwarf Brazilian ?

Tony the best thing you can do to help ID the plant is to share some fruit with Jon. Also does it have male flowers yet? That's how Jon likes to compare them for ID'ing. Get some good clear pics of them to share here or compare them with the ones on his site.

I have been following the thread but have not made any guesses yet because I was waiting for there to be photos of a more developed bunch, so keep posting them.
