Re: Dwaf cavendish question
I have never had a Cavendish flower. The most I've had on one hand is 20 on Goldfinger.

Re: Dwaf cavendish question
Wow! I noticed you are in zone 7 so my immediate thought (and question) is if that Cavendish is in the ground? Or how did you get it to flower i June?

Re: Dwaf cavendish question
Incredible! You gave it lots of water in the winter? I have one and I'm in zone 7 too. How warm was the greenhouse?

Re: Dwaf cavendish question
Much much thanks! Last May? That's just a little over a year. And I just realized, you're in Arkansas and that's practically next door to where I am! My DC is almost 16 inches tall now so I'm definitely going to try the greenhouse thing.
I seem to have forgotten... Congratulations!

Re: Dwaf cavendish question
