However, there are other mini bananas out there which are normal cultivars, and don't have any problem producing fruit. I'm slowly working on a way to introduce these into the nursery trade in a way that is useful to the communities they come from (so please don't bother me about getting them!). One in particular fruits at 2-3ft tall, and my colleague who collected it with me reports that it fruits in about 4months from planting.

I'll just leave this here as a teaser.

Gabe, what varieties are those on your pictures?
Is the first an original truly tiny and the second a sdc? Or what are they?

They are not Truly Tiny, or SDC. It is a new totally different and unrelated variety from Papua New Guinea.

Oh, that's cool. Probably something you will never find here in europe.

I have a plant, that came from a tropical house here in Switzerland labled as truly tiny and it doesn't look like sdc to me.
