A word of warning about
www.banana-tree.com/ : They are selling seeds which they decribe as ' MUSA acuminata cv. "Dwarf Banana" ' I bought some of those back in 2005 and got 3 to germinate. They didn't seem to gain size quite as fast as I expected and started pupping while they were pretty small. This spring one of them started flowering and the reason for the small size became clear: They are not acuminata!! The flower stands straight up and is all pink so I guess it is velutina. They are still peddling the same stuff and they didn't react in any way when I informed them about it so I suspect they are doing it on purpose. (velutina seeds are easier to come by and germinate well -> less expenses and customer complaints early on and who cares if a few of them are disappointed 2-3 years later)
