![]() That is interesting. The green house where I grow my namwah is only 13 feet high, so there probable wont be enough space for a second crop I guess.

![]() Beautiful collection brother!
![]() Interesting, it's good to know that my personal experience of cutting down banana trees to stay short results in a smaller bunch also applies to other bananas and not just Orinoco. Your P-Hands looks great!! It's definitely going to be a very close race! My Dwarf Namwa has the same exact 'variegation' on all of the older leaves it has produced. It is very pronounced when the leaves just come out. Perhaps it's just a trait of Dwarf Namwa. Gratz on your Double Cavendish pup! My understanding is the first mother plant doesn't produce 2 flowers, only the subsequent pups. My Double is still a baby, it's a TC |
