HD Nana

Picked this one up at Home depot. Any ideas what it might be. It is listed as Dwarf Green Red. Jamacin Red maybe?

Dwarf Red green is one tc'd by agristarts. I'd say they got the tag printing a little mixed up.

I have seen a bunch at our lowes labeled as such.

Looks like the dwarf cavendish that the HD and Lowe's sell around here.

Never seen a D Cav. with so much burgundy on the pseudostem though. May not be able to tell from my pics.

The ones at our local HD have the burgundy pstem and faint splotches on tops of the leaves and are labeled Dwarf Cavendish. I've never seen one up close before seeing those so I don't know what they are supposed to look like. Maybe they are mislabeled.

It is equivalent to the Agristarts Dwarf Red Green, if not the same. Dwarf Red is the same as Dwarf Jamaican Red. D.Red Green has the same lineage as D. Red, only it mutates to green-red plant, with green fruits that ripen to yellow.

Here are some links:
Look under Dwarf Reds on this one -
ENCANTO FARMS

Look at the section on Dwarf Green Red further down (about a third) the page past the "Rowe Red bananas" on this one -
Growing banana plants, banana trees, banana, bananas, growing bananas, banana pictires, banana pics, banana

That's kinda what I was thinking with the dwarf red green.
It sure has a stocky stem, really nice looking Musa.
