Default Re: Hello from Minnesota

Well I have had this plant for a bit now and due to my novice abilities have not gotten it to fruit yet. I live in Minnesota so that requires bringing the plant indoors for the winter and since I live in a town home space is also an issue. I am enclosing some info. I found from a place I do business with and hope this helps.
Musa acuminata 'Super Dwarf Cavendish'- Forget about huge banana plants that need a lot of room. This unique super dwarf allows for growing inside the home, on the porch, or close confines of a patio. Has a very symmetrical and compact appearance: 2 to 4 feet high. Can produce tasty fruit inside or out. Its Musa Cavendish parentage ensures disease, wind, and cold resistance in the landscape or as a houseplant. Has been used as ground covers around the bases of palms which provide strong vertical elements. Easy to grow in containers down to 8 inches in diameter. Because of its size, our most versatile banana.
