Re: Blue Java Pups
Mine is barely 5 ft high, and it has 2 pups. I didn't do anything special; I just stuck it in a very large pot (our lousy soil is mostly clay), and up they came.

Re: Still Curious
The easy way to distinguish a GM is the red-tinged wide open petioles. I couldn't tell for sure on your photos, but I don't think yours has...

Re: Worrisome leaves- BBTV and BSV?
Aphids are moved around by ants; they are like cattle for the ants. The ants move them to prime 'grazing' areas, then feed off the 'honeydew' that they exude out the back.

Re: Super Dwarf Cavendish Pups
Oh, I'm interested, but I'd not be able to bring them into this state. These guys are extremely 'anal' about getting any new diseases.

Re: Worrisome leaves- BBTV and BSV?
Looks like it has the narrow leaves, the j-hooks are obvious, and showing some of the 'morse-code' appearance, too. The pups look good. If it has the virus, it may not even show for up to 5 months....

Re: Weed's??
When I was kid we had black walnut trees popping up everywhere thanks to the squirrels. The little buggars bury them all over, and sometimes forget about their stash.

Re: Looking for Dwarf Blue Java
The last time I saw one with a bunch hanging off of it, the p-stem was about 9-10 feet up. Not to thick in the middle, though, and Gabe recommends propping it.
