My guess is the fruiting p stem is 5 1\2 feet tall. Isn't dwarf namwa, too tall. [IMG][/IMG]

i respectfully disagree.. look at the third photo she posted most recently. I looks to me like the flower is around 5/6ft off the ground. If it is dwarf namwah, that fruiting stem will darn near reach the ground from that height. IMO, its too short to be a tall namwah.

What if the flowering stem got cut\or was frozen back, taking several feet off the pstem? To me looks like the leaves are too far apart on the trunk, and it is too thin to be a dwarf. Just a guess

Yea, that is good point. I was thinking it was a first year plant, but she did say she planted it last spring.

The Pstem is only 6ft. The mother was off to a bad start after winter, so the pups are bigger from last year. It grew into.my plastic winter cover, and bent over, so I had to cut to the healthy part. I am pretty sure it's a Namwah, just not sure if it's a dwarf of tall one. I bought it as an ice cream.
