Re: My crazy dwarf!
Yep, I have been to the Southpark Gabe lives in and its pretty small, but boy are there beautiful views from up there. It would be great for a Summer( thought Brief) home, but too damn cold for me in the winter.

Re: My crazy dwarf!
Here are the male flowers as of today, 10-23-06
In looking at tons of pictures of Dwarf Cavendish the bunch looks right but the leaves are more slender than the others pictured online. Also none of the pups have ever shown any red color at any stage. On Jon's website he claims there to be many varieties of DC. Any idea which one this might be? |

Waht's the difference in the brazilian fruit bunch? Honestly I've always thought that they were "kind of a cavendish variety". Carlos |

Re: My crazy dwarf!
'Brazillian' is rather easy to spot, they always start out with very small fingers that seem to plump up later rather than right at the start, the fruit bunch is also more horizontal and the fingers have a sorta swirling twist action to the bunch form going on.
