Default Re: Dwarf Brazilian in bloom

Gosh, Brian, you're the second person to tell me today that they doubted it was a Dwarf Brazilian. Joe Real gave this pup to me and we dug it from his place and he says his is a Dwarf Brazilian. Joe also tells me that he got his Dwarf Brazilian from Going-Bananas which has a great reputation for being reliable. According to the wiki, Dwarf Brazilian fruits at 7.5 feet to 9 feet (or 6 to 8 feet described in a lower section). See Musa Dwarf Brazilian - Bananas Wiki. Going-bananas says 7-9 feet. But the fruit is more horizontal in the photo Ron posted in the wiki, such as you described. The same photo is on Agristart's web site (probably where Ron got it) and they describe it as 6-8 feet. At pitangadiego's site ENCANTO FARMS, there are different photos from different sources and none of them seem to be horizontal.

Somebody have the DNA sequence for Dwarf Brazilian and want to test it for me???
