Dwarf Red VS Dwarf Jamaican Red

momoese · 10-15-2007, 03:03 PM

Are they the same plant?

Gabe15 · 10-15-2007, 04:07 PM

yes, along with many other names such as cuban red, carribean red, indio, colorado, macaboo, johnson, red dacca is tall red and I think ive seen the dwarf refered to as dwarf red dacca before too, there are lots more names as well.

Thanks Gabe, another one of life's great mysteries is now solved!

Yea, thanks Gabe!

Thanks Gabe ! and thanks Momoese for asking ! I've wondered this as well .
One can find facts about all of these names on the net and they are mostly contradictive of one another . But ,as we all know , growers have completely different results with plants in the microclimates they provide for them . In addition ,there are always sports/ mutations to consider .

whom has the time to add those names to the Banana Wiki?

Dwarf or Tall, all the reds I have tasted have been similar, and have a recognizeable "red" flavor. However, even DJR and DR have had different growth habits for me - some stouter, some a little taller, some more vigorous, but in the end, the flavor was largely the same if not identical.

Thanks Ron, I was going to do it when I got home but you beat me to it

D_&_T · 10-16-2007, 07:06 PM

now if Ron, Gabe , Jarred, Steve and some of the others that know these names off top of their head to list others types in wiki it would greatly help us still learning the basics
