Harvey, I had the same problem with my D.O.'s from Wellspring. He evidently had a mix-up after they went through TC. I waited two to three years for my D.O. to flower. It kept getting taller and taller and then I realized it wasn't D.O. at all--it was regular Orinoco. I thought what wasted time growing this banana for two years just to discover it was the wrong type. I wanted a dwarf because they are much more manageable. So I contacted Wellspring, and he offered to make it right by sending two real D.O.'s if I ordered something so he could combine the shipping. I do think they were D.O. the second time.
