Re: Musa Drawf French Plaintain
French plantains are a group of plantains, none of which are normally referred to as the 'French Plantain' in the areas they are grown in. These are true plantains which have retained their male buds, unlike Horn, False Horn, and French Horn plantains which have degenerated or non-existent male buds. I'm pretty sure that the cultivar 'Dwarf Puerto Rican Plantain' is a French plantain. I know at least that Going Bananas carries this cultivar and I've seen that others do too.
