Re: indoor fruit growth

If you really have dwarf orinoco then the fruits stay about thumb size.. Tall orinoco have larger fruit.. I have pictures in my gallery.. I have newer pics I haven't uploaded.. As for fert tips..I can't give much advice about bananas fruiting in pots.

orinocos tall or short taste great.. When they are ripe. Don't let anyone tell you any different.. Texture seems more gummy as opposed to others. I like them better than some of the other varieties.. I just finished eating The last of my dwarf o bunch this week .. Wished the bunch had more bananas.. Maybe I will grow a big bunch of namwha..

If your plant is near a 10 ft tall roof then its probably the tall form. My dwarf o never really reached over 5 ft of p stem.

I was close to having it flower when I had problems with it. I lost it.. I gave a sucker to a person nearby and they grew it.. I was given a small sucker when I told them what happened. if I grow it to a healthy size and you wanna do a fair trade then ok.. For some reason people behave extra strange for varigated bananas...hoarding. Etc.
