I actually have or will make space for more if they come to me but I have a perfect spot for 2 really different ones now. If I really have a Dwarf Cavendish (which I am seriously doubting unless it's normal for leaves to be 3'+ long and 1'+ wide and only 1 pup) then I'm expecting 6' to 8' height; it appears 1000 fingers will get a bit taller but if, as it appears, the fruit hangs down it wouldn't be hard to pick. That's assuming I ever get a flag...

I'm rethinking Truly Tiny but am ready to try 1000. Any other recommended varieties on Wellspring? If not, I'll probably spread the shipping on something else. Figs? Perhaps. (I don't eat them at all but they're fun to grow and the leaves and sap have other uses.)
