Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

Hi All!!

I got these new babies today!!!!


Now I am apprehensive, because I hope I don't end up with a 'problem child' like musaboro did & red splotched leaves emerge.

If they do...you will be able to hear my shrieks via the text in that post.

I was reading & culling info, plotting & planning my next banana purchase...

...when Bob's shining remarks on the Dwarf Namwah...sent me over the edge & I bought 2!!

Wish me luck!! :) ~Cheryl

Dwarf Namwah grows vigorously at my place. Congratulations!

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

Nice looking plants Cheryl. If you don't like 'em when they start growing, just head them over my way.:ha:

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

Great choice. You're going to love them.

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

Nice pups! Mine is in it's 2nd Summer here in the Florida Panhandle and HOPEFULLY will produce this yr. It's 6'+ with a sturdy trunk and leaves from ground level to top. The "racing stripe" down the center of most leaves is attractive too...

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

Good luck!

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

Good luck with them!!!
:woohoonaner:

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

They're Repotted!! Will probably pot them up again in a month, depending on their pattern of growth. I hope they take off!!

Having a great day here in Texas!!! :) ~Cheryl

Congrats! I havent really read up on Namwah but I think I might have too.

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

Nice Cheryl, I see you are terminally addicted already. :D Good luck with those 2 babies. ;)

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

Argh!!! It's not helping me that I keep 'finding' sales on these plants...

I have 2 Double Mahoi & and an Ice Cream coming...

SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!!! :D ~Cheryl

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

We can't stop you we're addicted too!
I have several Dwarf Namwah and they are healthy and beautiful.
The Mahoi is the one I started with and I have enjoyed showing off my double bunches a lot.
My goal is to get rid of the grass and throw away the lawn mower.:raftingnaner:
Good Growing!

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

Wow very healthy plants good luck. im in Vancouver so i havent been on here in a few days so im catching up today.

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

I have found that I need to work the DN's into a 'Full Sun' pattern for 12-14 hours a day.
They are looking stressed today.
The stems look plump & adjusted well, while the leaves look like they're say, 'Help Us!'
I moved them back a few feet from where I had them which will put them in a 'Moderate Sun' area, about 6-8 hours a day.
I will eek them back out over a 2 week period.

Thanks for checking in everyone, good to have your input & support!!

Dwarf Namwah has a thick stem, grows fast and tasty fruit. I hope you will enjoy hem half as much as I do mine.

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

OK I couldn't resist bragging a little.
This is a picture of a Dwarf Namwah in my back yard.
Cheryl, this is what they can grow into. It is only a year or so old.
There are also lots of pups around the bottom.
Good Luck!

Here's a picture of the Dwarf Namwah's!!



What fast growing plants!!! WOW!!!

The kids & I have been documenting the height & leaf growth and theses are beating out our DO's (growth-wise) like crazy!!

LOVE THEM!! :) ~Cheryl

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

Nice! I think that may end up being what I replace my DC's with.

Re: Dwarf Namwah!!!
 

I would. I have had no banana perform like this one. I really expect with a bit of luck and proper overwintering to get this one to flower. In less marginal climates not only that but just a great looking plant as it matures.
