Dwarf Cavendish or Rowe Red???

Sonoran-Jungle · 10-19-2016, 07:31 PM

Not sure which one I got from the nursery. When I asked they said they had Dwarf Cavendish but I saw a tag on the ground that showed Rowe red. The plants were not separated by what type of banana they were. I asked but nobody knew the difference. The other plants were smaller with darker leaves and maybe some red coloration.

Those don't look like Cavendish. I do have a dwarf red, and it looks like that...

Those are reds. The dwarf cavendish has red splotchs in the leaf which will fade away as the leaf gets older.

The smaller ones were the Cavandish then since they had red on the leaves. If these are the dwarf red, does that mean it's a Rowe red and will not produce edible fruit?

Rowe red doesn't seem to be an edible, but it also has wine stains on the leaves according to the wiki pic.

Yours look very much like my dwarf red, which if anyone wants it, PM me.

These are dwarf cavendish.

The DC has a red hue or red sploches on the pstem but is generally green and the leaf stem is green. ... Your leaf stems are red.

Thanks for the replies. Now that I know I did not pick the cavendish, I am trying to determine if this is a Rowe Red (like the loose tag I saw there) or a Dwarf Red. Or is a red dwarf and rowe red the same thing?

check the bananawiki link in sputnics post
looks like you (might) have an edible red variety
maybe go pick up a dwarf cavendish as well?

They are dwarf reds. Rowe red is a sport of musa zebrina, has red splotches on leaves.

They sure look just like my dwarf red did when it was smaller... They don't ever seem to develop nice healthy green leaves... I have seen other people's dwarf reds and they are the same.
