Looking for Red Dwarf or Dwarf Cavendish BC Canada

Steve Morrow · 02-05-2012, 04:03 AM

Hello all,

I would really like to find a few dwarf red or dwarf cavendash (or both!)... I have seen a number of Super Dwarf Cavendash and have a few but would like a larger Dwarf Cavendash.... I'm willing to pay shipping within reason.

THX!

I'm in BC.. Anything else you are looking for?
I have dwarfs but not sure what they are, they were listed as blood bananas.

If you can't find a DC, try a double Mahoi - it is supposed to be a mutation of DC so it ought to grow about the same.

Steve Morrow · 02-05-2012, 01:36 PM

Thanks for the responses guys... I think blood bananas are a different thing but they are very beautiful... I would love a double mahoi but don't know where to get them.... in BC Basjoo is everywhere and SDC in the department stores but for Dwarf Cavendish or Red Dwarf I can't find them even from the growers.

That may be because the 'reds' tend to be temperature sensitive.

Hi Trina,

You had me completely frazzled (Whitehorse 7b???). But now I realized, that you gave your V. Island HZ.

Tell me more about your dwarfs. I live in Penticton and do not really care about the particilar species,
since I cannot get any fuit here anyway. To me the colour of the foliage and hardiness are much more
important.

Do yours have red leaves?
Could you include a picture please?

I am right now in Vietnam and won't return home until March 14.

Hoping to hear from you on that,

best,
Olaf

PS: It is still a bit early to tell, but I may have an Ornata pup for you in exchange, if not in Spring,
then most likely in fall. I'll hopefully know more about that after I get home. I could not receive anything
from you before then anyway.

For details on the Ornata see here:
I Think I Scored a Coup

And here: Need advice to grow a banana plant indoors all winter

Hook us up with some pics!

Olafhenny · 02-07-2012, 01:03 AM

Thanks GreenFin,

I have had problems getting bananas from the States due to lenghty shipping times, possibly caused by customs
delays.

That is why I, for one, prefer Canadian sources

Though I am not speaking for Steve Morrow. Thanks anyway!

Best,
Olaf

Hey everyone... thanks so much for the responses! I tried to post a picture of my SDC's and other mystery banana as my profile but it isn't showing up when I post!!???!? I mailed a moderator but haven't heard back in a few days.

Thanks all...!

Steve Morrow · 02-07-2012, 02:50 PM

Okay figured it out! Aren't avitars those blue aliens? Hehehehe.

GreenFin · 02-07-2012, 03:34 PM

Nice plants, Steve

The fish seems a bit suspicious of them, though

Steve Morrow · 02-07-2012, 04:38 PM

Bahahaha... When I'm around he looks at me like that too! Judging eyes
