This flower is huge! I'll take a picture with something to compare with! This plant is in the ground and is around 3 1/2' tall
This large picture annoys me! But my gallery is full so I used this way and now its huge. |
Re: Super Dwarf Cavendish
How old is the plant? And for all, how big will the bunch and also the nanas be? Smaller I would guess than those in the store? (Or are they even the same?)

I can't remember the age... not more than 1 1/2 years, should go check pictures and see if I can get a better idea. As for the size of bunch I think it'll be over 200 bananas, the first hand has about 32 or more and I can count 9 hands already. they are around 3" long, I don't think they'll get much longer.
My problem is "how much should I cut off?" I hate doing it but I think it's needed. The circumference is 27" about the same size as my big plants. In the ground makes bigger plants than container grown! |

Re: Super Dwarf Cavendish

Congratulations Sarah
What is the diameter at the base of the super dwarf Cavendish, since you live in zone 6b, was your super dwarf Cavendish in a pot and only planted into the ground this year. Mine is growing in a 15 inch pot, which i am hoping it will flower for me next year. |
Re: Super Dwarf Cavendish

Mushtaq, are you growing yours inside? best wishes Peego |

In the UK, Cavendish varieties have to be grown in a greenhouse or indoors, in the winter and the summer. |

It's around 8" in diameter. I did have it in a pot for some of it's growing time... but it has been in the ground for 3/4 year? (Somewhere there) I planted it in the greenhouse so thats why I could do that :) the rest of my SDC are in pots. |
Re: Super Dwarf Cavendish
The male flowers have started now so it's done, haven't counted them to see what the total was.
