Cold Re: Typical height for a Dwarf Namwah banana to fruit?

Re: Typical height for a Dwarf Namwah banana to fruit?

For Dwarf Namwah, do you let the bananas ripen on the plant or pick and let ripen? Here's a picture of the first fruits emerging from the flower.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Typical height for a Dwarf Namwah banana to fruit?

Opps, the height is just under 6 foot/182 centimeter at the top of the bud.

Re: Typical height for a Dwarf Namwah banana to fruit?

That's what I wanted to know! I'll put a range of 7 to 9 feet. Considering this and growth of around 1 to 2ft/year I might get fruit next year. All other things being equal off course!:nanadrink:

Re: Zan Moreno flowering - need advice on ants, fruiting, after fruiting

Yes, most digital cameras these days take pictures in the 2MB per picture range. I used Picasa's export feature to reduce size and it down to around 68KB per picture. That uploaded without any issue.

Giant thanks

Do you typically wait for the fruit to ripe before picking or pick green? Zan Moreno is a dwarf Cavendish type.
