			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>These are some bananas growing at a community garden in Brisbane. They were donated by Blue Sky Backyard Bananas, who have now stopped trading. Unfortunately they got moved around after the floods and we lost track of which is which. I am lead to believe that the following varieties were donated, so it is most likely one of these:<br />
<br />
Ladyfinger<br />
Bluggoe<br />
Ducasse<br />
Dwarf Ducasse<br />
Goldfinger<br />
Pisang Ceylon<br />
Blue Java<br />
<br />
I am pretty sure I have correctly identified the Peysang Ceylon, however I cannot sort out the others. To make it more difficult, they all seem to be struggling a bit. Only two are fruiting at the moment, so these are the ones I am asking for help with now.<br />
<br />
Variety 1:<br />
<br />

<br />
Variety 2:<br />
<br />
This one looks most like a dwarf, so I am thinking Dwarf Ducasse, however  the trees are about half the girth of others of this variety I have seen, and the bunches are small:<br />

			<title>Dwarf Namwah Pup wanted - Bay Area, CA</title>
			<link>vbseo_replace_urls("https://www.bananas.org/", "showthread.php?t=55116&amp;goto=newpost")</link>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I'm looking for a dwarf Namwah pup (not tissue culture). I have one that I have grown from a purchased tissue culture plant, but it has lacked vigor and underperformed. Bananas grow quite easily here, but not always quickly. Tissue culture plants can take a while to form an established mat. <br />
<br />
 I am sure that there are plentiful sources of pups available online, but I would rather purchase a pup from someone who has successfully grown and fruited this plant. A shipped plant is fine, but more local is better if possible. I am located in the Bay Area, CA, just north of Walnut Creek. Thanks, everyone!</div>
