Re: Is this a Super Dwarf Cavendish?
My guess would be SDC. I'm looking at the thickness of the stem, the short petiole, and the robust overall appearance for the small size. The blood marks also indicate it should be in that same family.

One of our local garden shops calls them all 'bananas'. That is something even I could have figured out all by myself :) Good luck with it, Peter, Olaf |

Re: Is this a Super Dwarf Cavendish?
Judging by how small it is (and how compact) and the other stuff Yug mentioned, it most likely is an SDC. Since you live in England that's probably the most common variety sold anyway, as most people would have to grow them indoors as houseplants, which SDC are commonly used for. It looks really healthy though, and would benefit from a little potting up :D Congrats on getting more into the banana craze; those Velutina and Sikkimensis seedlings now have some motivation to get bigger and catch up ;)

Re: Is this a Super Dwarf Cavendish?
And it's ridiculous how erroneous the information is on that website lol. Besides not being "Musa tropicana", Super Dwarf Cavendish are among one of the more quicker fruiting banana varieties when grown in proper conditions, which is what I would assume the website is talking about when it says "all tropical areas around the world". I'm really glad you're knowledgeable enough to deduce that the species it was labeled as is phony Pete(r); very ace thinking! :D

Re: Is this a Super Dwarf Cavendish?
I'm thinking that 'Musa Tropicana' is a cheap rip off of the name 'Musa Paradisiaca' which I've seen applied to all types of banana cultivars that weren't species. In other words, it means very little at all. Might as well just call it a 'banana'.

Re: Is this a Super Dwarf Cavendish?
Very neat! I got a flat of these back in January at out local Produce Junction and suspected they were SDC. 6 of them for 8 USD (really cheap) they are thriving now! I also have a large one (2 feet high) from a supermarket down the shore from last year. It is a thriving beauty now also.

Very cool, I would have bought more but there was only one left. Please keep us updated with the progress.

Re: Is this a Super Dwarf Cavendish?
Years ago I planted some for some job. Never did see how they turned out. And it's one of the easier plants to have that I don't have myself.
Gonna have to get some. |
