Thanks for the information.
I have already had a very large bunch from that plant. It was indeed a Dwarf Maoli. Sausage type bananas 3/4 in length. Pink with a tinge of orange flesh inside. Very tasty. Our bunch was 30 pounds. Two of the pups are now 6 feet tall. It grows extremely fast, and is my favorite right now.
