Default Re: Have I missed something?

Joe, I understand the mis-labelling, issues, etc. but I think in the case of the Siam, it is clear that none of them were Dwarf Cavendishes, or something, which were mislabelled. They are clearly progency of the SR, but also, seemingly, not clones. Their distinctive color makes it easy to see the variability, but I was wondering how much variability there is in TCs which don't have coloration or some other characterisitc to signal that they are not clones.

Bananimal, I am assuming your measurements are to leaf tip. My "Pitogo" has about 11' of trunk and 5' of leaves, and pretty slender. Goldfinger is usually 9' of trunk and 5-6' of leaves. Sounds like you ought to be close on both.
