MUSA Chinese / Chinese Dwarf ?

Julian posted the link to a pdf below ..
Then I read it .. I see the Chinese AAA is also known as ‘Chinese Dwarf. Now I'm wondering if anyone has this one in the ground? Or is this just a sub specie of Williams .. Either way I like the idea of its not growing so tall .. Because all my problems stem from wind damage in the summer rains.. I got some extra room :) Yes I made some room under my Cable TV line So I can plant something there before my wife sees its empty

Cultivars Available from the University of Hawaii

It's the same as DC. From what I understand the UH program is defunct.

Re: MUSA Chinese / Chinese Dwarf ?

OK OK .. I already have DC.. 3 foot tall .. Geeze It sounded so good! "6 to 8 feet fruit scraping the ground" I was kinda in a dream state for a few hours..
So I guess my search has come to a bitter end. All I can do for now is mow the grass out there in my free space.
But thanks both of you guys for the response . Now I guess Ill slowly walk away bend my head down as I wonder around with out any hopes of finding the perfect MUSA for my needs..
