Cool! Love the idea of the thread!
BBJ is going to hijack it though with all his fruiting Tall Namwa! LOL

Here's my Dwarf Namwa and it's actually pretty special to me because It's my first banana grown from a very small tissue culture that is now on the ground.
It was only a few inches tall when I first got it and it's now about 3ft tall.

Here it is just as the sun rose full of morning dew

2 months since planting a frail TC right in the ground, straight out of the shipping box, whatever it ends up being...

This was 11 days ago. Since then it's thrown out 3 gigantic leaves. We named it Lou Ferrigno....
