Re: Is this trick pic
My opinion is that you can get a lot of varieties to fruit at that size. I have only been in this house for 2 years and planted lots of pups when we moved in and later that year. The first stalk to fruit from a mat is always smaller and has fewer hands of fruit. It seems each trunk is successively bigger and has more fruit. I noticed this with the first trunk to fruit on Dwarf Cav, Misi Luki, Raja Puri, Dwarf Orinoco and all of those pseudostems were the size of that picture. BUT I think it would take close attention to water and fertilizer and removal of pups to keep the corm small. I also think you would have to cut back the corm at some point if you wanted to do it again in the pot. The climate would have a lot to do with it too.
JUST my .02 worth.
