Doubleheaded......dwarf something?
Hi all. I spotted this specimen few weeks ago. Two stems are connected the bottom and have couple of mutual leaves before the split. Is this a freak or just a side-effect of tissue-culturing? Pups look normal (unfortunately)...
What variety is this? Superdwarf Cavendish is my undereducated but likely guess. Banana Gallery - P1000072 |

Re: Doubleheaded......dwarf something?
It could be the 'Double Cavendish', aka 'Mahoe' (although incorrectly). Sometimes they do the split earlier on before they flower. I have also seen where they produced twin pseudo stems as in your photo, and then each shoot produced a double bunch.
