Q about my Dwarf Cav, again....
Now when a dwarf is supposed to get 5-7 ft. tall, is that the height of the p.stem or the height total foliage and all? And, (yes i have a million questions about everything) I'm sure my nanaer isnt anywhere near fruiting yet but, what are tell-tale signs it is ready to flower? does the stem have a bulge or all of a sudden bulk up? Just curiosity and boredom at work drive me to ask these things.
Thanx bob

Re: Q about my Dwarf Cav, again....
the new emerging leaves will start to get shorter and smaller and on the dc the stem will be a pretty good size by that time

Re: Q about my Dwarf Cav, again....
The 5-7 ft is the stem height and the pups start to grow when fruiting time is near. You probably won't see a bulge as such, but the stem gets fatter at the top - then a short leaf followed by a very short strange leaf and the huge bud will follow. Exciting!!
