venturabananas

I guess since no one is biting, I'll have to reply to myself...

Seriously though, I did find out more about the origin, if not identity, of the Logee's dwarf ladyfinger.

I emailed Logee's customer service, asking what this banana variety was or where they got it. A nice guy name Byron gave me the following answers:

"I don't know the it by another name. It came to us from Hawaii about 15 years ago as a sample plant under its present name. We do the tissue culture here at Logee's."

So, yes, they are TC plants, but not from Agristarts as some had suggested, implying that they really aren't dwarf nino, as was suggested. We'll probably never know what cultivar they are unless some motivated grad student decides they just have to know the answer and does the DNA work.
