Re: Dwarf Namwa
That's a beautiful plant, my Namwa is sleeping in my spare room in my home still very slowly growing lovely paper thin leaves just perfect for snapping and shredding when it's warmer outside!! Lol

Re: Dwarf Namwa
3.7M dwarf?!?!! That's bigger than my Basjoo gets by at least 2 feet, probably more....assuming we are talking p-stem height. That's a big dwarf!
And the diameter?? 1M - am I reading that correctly? I'd love to see a pick of that.

Re: Dwarf Namwa
It was disappointing finding another one of these giants today in the same general area. I was really hoping the first one was some type of mutation but now it's most likely caused by environmental conditions. This is a fairly small area probably about 3m x 10m and these plants were not intentionally planted but grew from discarded banana material.
This one was a little bit bigger. Height - 3.75 m Dia. at 1 meter - 35.3 cm 2/11/25

Re: Dwarf Namwa
There's at least 13 full hands but hopefully more will be revealed
Knowing that there's three parallel downward spirals means that only one column needs to be counted. If starting with the top hand the count would go as follows 1-4-7-10-13-16. 2/22/25
