Default Does anyone know what Logees is selling as their Dwarf Lady Finger?

https://www.logees.com/banana-dwarf-...acuminata.html

My sense is that 'dwarf lady finger' is not a cultivar but a...phenotype? Does anyone know what this is they're selling?

(I ordered one and now I'm curious how to plan around it!)

e: the video has more closeups including of fruit https://youtu.be/xEtD6ImhQ7o

It’s a somewhat smaller ‘Dwarf Cavendish’ variant. I’ve grown it before, far underperforming compared to more standard type ‘Dwarf Cavendish’, but not awful if you are super space limited. Seems more stable and better performing than common ‘Super Dwarf Cavendish’ with comparable overall plant size.

Got it — thanks. That's disappointing — I already own a SDC and a Truly Tiny (even smaller SDC) from them. The video made it look like a true ladyfinger dessert banana. Oh well. I'll keep it in mind for the future.
