![]() I just was given a "dwarf cavendish". It was a TINY plant - 4" tall, grew in what looks like a 50 tray. "root" ball was maybe 1 1/4 inch in diameter and 1 inch deep (so not even a 50 tray - almost like a plug tray. BUT it appears that this grew from seed (and in fact I was sent some seed labeled "dwarf Cavenish M. acuminata". but a note on it said "edible like store one, but smaller".
If it can be grown from seed, strikes me that it is not very edible. Any comments?? |

![]() I sort of wondered about that as all our seeded material has different root structures. Agristarts maybe was the source? I guess we will see when they grow up :-)- both were called dwarf cavendish, both had Musa acuminata under that - makes me think that these are not truly edible (or barely edible). I was just told that Grin is sending us 18 various plants to play with - we trust that they will be properly named! (hopefully a dwarf cavendish to compare!) (Though we have had surprises dealing with Davis as well as National Arboretum).

![]() With TC plants, you never know what you’ll get. Mostly due to agristarts’ level of quality control...
