Anyone familiar with 'Enano Gigante'
 

Hi Everyone,
Just found out that I have a Dwarf Giant Banana 'Enano Gigante' not a Dwarf Cavendish.:0493: Can anyone give me more info. What is the fruit like, How much fruit does it yield, Can I plant it in a container, etc.

Re: Anyone familiar with 'Enano Gigante'
 

I have 2 of them, but they are still too small to fruit. Next year I hope to have lots of info. GRIN says it is a AAA hybrid Acuminata and has some photos of the bunches.
TARS 17143 - Musa acuminata - Enano Gigante - Puerto Rico
Good luck!!!

Do you have them in containers? How tall are they? Mine is about 3 1/2 feet tall. There is about four trunks in one container. I hope to divide them up soon.

Yes, they are in containers now, hope to transplant in-ground in the spring.

'Enano Giante' is a dwarf Cavendish. I've seen it affiliated with 'Dwarf Cavendish' and 'Grand Nain', and I imagine it may refer to both varieties in different parts of the world, though there are many forms of each and the nomenclature and differences between them can sometimes become very foggy.
