I think I read someone (you?) say that Gabe thought it was some sort of Cavendish variant (iirc it was termed a 'somatic mutation'). If it is indeed a Cavendish, is it the only ladyfinger Cavendish in existence? Don't all the other Cavendish varieties put out much larger fruit?
No fruit. I doubt it'll ever successfully fruit for me. It hates my cool winters and dies back. Sure looks and acts like a Cavendish. Super Dwarf Cavendish also doesn't make full-size fruit.
