Default Re: brazilian or dwarf brazilian?

I agree with Gabe...the quality of Brazilians in good conditions is excellent...I have grown both for 15 years (the fruit is identical in like conditions) ..personality I prefer the dwarf as they are less resistant to high winds (common in Florida) and being a much smaller plant easier to manage. Everyone has different taste preferences..Katie Chafin (Going Bananas) has told me on several occasions that her favorite bananas to eat are Dwarf Brazilian.
