Hi !

Sorry for this attractive title

I have just received the two following twins from an EU supplier.
He sold me them as........
I will tell you what it is supposed to be as soon as you have told me what it looks like to you.

Thanks for help

I say D. Cavendish...

TommyMacLuckie · 08-17-2012, 10:02 AM

I've planted some smaller than those. Super Dwarf Cavendish. I don't recall how tall they get but it can't be more than 3 feet I think.

From what I know these are mature ones:

SDC or DC is my vote.

My goal in hybridizing new Super-Duper Micro Mini Dwarf Dwarfs would be that you will need a magnifying glass to actually see the plant, and that the fruit will be like ant eggs.

lol - kidding!

Hi Tony,

You are mistaking.
It is not white fly it is trialeurode vaporariorum.
We don't have white flies around here

Hi,

I had five mats of these Super-Duper Micro Mini Dwarf Dwarfs but I lost them. In fact I forgot in what part of my garden I planted them

Now guys, let's speak seriously.

You have the same idea as mine : cavendish group.
The problem is that these plants are supposed to be Dwarf brazilian .
When I got them I called immediately the seller which is obviously an honnest and serious person.
He kindly told me that they are tissue cultures from........Agristarts !
According to him they are DB and they have this SDC-DC-C-TT red color because they are young and they will change back to the DB norm when they will be bigger......

Now the new questions are :

1) Who, on the board, has ever seen a TC of dwarf brazilian ?
2) Does it looks like those ones ?

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil,

I haven't seen a TC of Dwarf Brazilian, but when I look into the banana and color of leafes it surely says that it is not a pure cavendish. The seller is right; when banana grows it will show variety tags. Maybe a Tissue cultured banana shows some indications later?

I am just guessing, as I said, I don't have large experience with TC bananas.

Greets, Edi.

Those pics look just like my little DB (hopefully it's a DB!) did a couple of months ago. Lots of splotches on the leaves, with a rosy tint on the undersides. When I first got it, I was actually worried it was a Zebrina because of all the color. It has since grown very vigorously and toned down the colors, though, so I'm pretty sure it is DB.

LilRaverBoi · 08-18-2012, 11:26 AM

Pics look similar to my dwarf brazilian. Most varieties that have red blotches will lose this trait when they get more mature.
