Re: Dwarf Namwah
For those of us who don't live in the tropics, this variety has a lot going for it. It's at the top of list for handling cool conditions and dry conditions. It is a very vigorous grower. In my yard, it is the best fruit producer. The fruit are good (when fully ripe -- there is even a hint of green on the peel, wait longer!) and they have long shelf life. It isn't my favorite for flavor or texture, but I prefer them over Cavendish varieties (which I buy from the store when I don't have home grown fruit). I wouldn't be without this bulletproof variety.

Re: Dwarf Namwah
Digestibility is also an important aspect of dessert bananas and would be more apparent with a GI chart.

Re: Dwarf Namwah
The plant overall is very fine for those living outside the tropics. I have just two major complains on this cultivar: first one, the fruit it's not so quick in filling, which is a problem with limited time to grow the plant. Secondly, the pstem can become pretty heavy/(and for some people, tall), making for a plant not so easy to drag around.

Re: Dwarf Namwah
People who live in glass houses ... should grow bananas indoors!

Re: Dwarf Namwah
It is a big plant for a dwarf. They max out around 10' of p-stem (and are usually shorter), which is shorter than say "Misi Luki Namwah", but I would estimate that Dwarf Namwah is every bit as heavy because its p-stem is so thick.

Re: Dwarf Namwah
I think that the heavy pstem makes it a good candidate for overwintering it in a crawlspace like in the bigdog post, because this way you don't have to add the weight of the pot to the equation, plus being cold and drought tolerant, it should survive well. But, i haven't read many reports of people doing it.
