I agree with Keith (PR-Giants) about the rewarding super-sized ratoon crop of the french plantains (PR Dwarf Super Plantain) compare to horn and false horn plantains. I also, currently grow PR Common Dwarf Plantain (false-horn type plantain) and I can see the notable sized differences between the two....





I collected some information/data to compare with my future growing generations and to share with growers/members as well....
Current (third) generation of PR Dwarf Super Plantain.....


Pseudostem diameter (girth) (measurement done at one meter up from the plant base)= 24 inches


Plant height = Approx. 100 inches


PR Dwarf Super Plantain bunch information:
9 hands total
129 plantain fingers total
6 1/2 inches = measurement of fingers at opening of the last hand (next time, I will take the measurement in the third or fourth hand of the plantain fingers at opening).






more info/photos still coming.....at harvesting, etc......
