Can you post pictures of you whole DB clump? I browsed your gallery but don't recall pictures of the entire plant.

There are lots of DB photos if you search the gallery for "Dwarf Brazilian". Here's one that is not mine, but representative:

The 35-40 mph gusts we've had all day snapped a Pisang Klotek this morning. In a couple of months, it would have filled out the nice bunch it had hanging. Bummer. None of the Tall Brazilians have folded today. But any variety with a p-stem taller than about 12' is getting uninvited from my yard. Too many loses in the strong Santa Ana winds I get and too much of a hassle to harvest in a small, crowded yard.

Sorry to hear that it happened to your PK also. Second year in a row it happened to mine. I absolutely love the taste of my PK fruits, otherwise I would have parted with them a long time ago (slow grower, does not pup a lot).

@hydroid: nope, you are not the only one. I do like my dwarf Brazilian fruits, but would probably always prefer a good Pisang Klotek or Pisang Ceylon (Mysore subgroup) over a DB.

@ all: tall vs dwarf: I agree with all that has been said about tall vs dwarf, however, I cannot count the times I have run my head into a low hanging banana bunch on a dwarf plant
