Talking Re: super dwarf banana

The closest I can tell you on the name is Musa Acuminata Super Cavendish Dwarf. Grow them like most of the rest, lots of sun and lots of water. Last year was my first year for one and it did well. Mine got about 2' tall and should max out around 3-4'. Yes it will fruit, tiny little sweet bananas, and they are edible. Hopefully mine will flower this year. I don't have any tips except that mine seemed to get bound up with all those leaves and such a small pseudo-stem, so you might trim back some of the outside layers of trunk as it ages. Good luck -Nate
