Best Tasting Dwarf......

imclueless17 · 07-05-2010, 05:57 PM

OK so I've had a couple of bananas now and I've taken good care of them but due to space requirements I need to get into growing dwarfs. I need to know what dwarf variety tastes the best. I like sweet creamy bananas. Oh and the plant cant reach a height of over 8 feet. Thanks for advice in advance.

LilRaverBoi · 07-05-2010, 06:46 PM

8' total height or 8' of pseudostem (which is the typical measure of 'height' for bananas)?

imclueless17 · 07-05-2010, 07:19 PM

8 ft total height. probably a 6-7 ft p-stem. Also I was thinking of a dwarf namwah or a namwah variant....

Caloosamusa · 07-05-2010, 07:24 PM

May I suggest Mahoi (double) or Dwarf Red. The flavor of the fruits are excellent!

imclueless17 · 07-05-2010, 07:27 PM

Sounds good. So do you happen to know if the double frequently produces 2 heads of fruit?

Dwarf Namwah will get to tall Rajapuri , double or maybe Dwarf Brazilian

You have to consider the environment and how cold your area may get. :^) Your not on the map is the only reason I bring that up.. :^)

imclueless17 · 07-05-2010, 07:34 PM

Which fruit has more flavor the double or dwarf Brazilian also which do you think would yield a better naner crop.

Oh and I container grow plants so you dont really need to know where I live.....

Caloosamusa · 07-05-2010, 07:39 PM

The double produces two bunches of fruit in the secound and following shooting pseudostems of a mat. They may not be as cold hardy as other Dwarf types but do well in a well drained large pot, that can be moved in doors and out.

A temporate zone wouldn't hurt.. If you have only 8ft ceilings an SDC :^)

Rmplmnz · 07-05-2010, 07:45 PM

Dwarf Brazilian is a great tasting banana...but is not a true dwarf (7 -14 feet depending on conditions)...just a smaller version of the Brazilian (20 plus feet)

Dwarf Reds are awesome......

It helps to know where you live.....how much sun you get, etc.,

There is more to climate than shoving a banana in a pot..

sunfish · 07-05-2010, 07:52 PM

Dwarf Ladyfinger ?

I know I give them extra light, heat them give them high humidity, and let em have plenty of sunlight.

Caloosamusa · 07-05-2010, 08:12 PM

Rmplmnz thinks highly of this cultivar also, check it out!!

imclueless17 · 07-05-2010, 09:01 PM

Ok i think I've decided. I believe I am now in the market for 2 doubles and 2 dwarf reds.
I have perfect Vision!!!

Hehe I still have 1 eye

Oh No I'm Blind Now!!!

Worm_Farmer · 07-05-2010, 09:37 PM

Raja Puri FTW,
I have yet to see my Red Dwarf flower but the way it grows and the color is very nice.

imclueless17 · 07-05-2010, 09:49 PM

Best Tasting Dwarf......

imclueless17 · 07-05-2010, 10:21 PM

OK so I might actually be in the market for 2 raja puri's and 1 double. Oh and what abot the williams hybrid is that any good?

mbfirey · 07-06-2010, 12:27 PM

If had to eat a dwarf I'd probably try to eat Sleepy, or Dopey- they'd be the easiest to catch.

I guess it depends on how you cook them...
