venturabananas

I've heard tell of some Mysore banana plants fruiting at 6-8' of p-stem in Hawaii (from Gabe and in the Kepler and Rust book), but I don't think it would be easy to get ahold of progeny of those plants. I don't think there are true dwarf Mysore varieties. What I mean by that is ones that have short petioles, etc., the characters of real dwarf plants. But if someone here has Mysore plants that produce at short heights and is willing to share pups, then I'm sure lots of folks would want to try them out!

My Pisang Klotek (from Mitchel) is 9' and no sign of a bloom yet. The other Mysore varieties I've seen in person that were fruiting were at least 10' and sometimes quite a bit more than that.
