Does anyone In cooler areas ever have a problem with these things not filing out properly? not just sucrier... i seem to See that a lot Of this mostly in bananas with red coloring on the p stem. A lot of aa/ aaa etc. I had 2 gran nain with approx 190 fruit between the two that didnt get as big as I hoped. I think I recall someone in florida having similar issues.
I get the impression that is pretty common with some varieties. For example, the Dwarf Brazilian in warm Hawaii get way bigger than those grown here in cool Ventura. I've never seen a full size Cavendish here, either.

Yeah some types need more tropical influence to reach full potential.. Does anyone have experience with logees ladyfinger? Isn't that really a sucrier with aa genetics? nino? I saw ads claiming it fruits in pots. What ever it is ive seen a few pics from the states where they had a chance to really swell

My experience with it is that it is slow and hates my cool wet winters! Mine is still alive, but very small after nearly dying during last winter. With your warm summers, it might do well for you.

Gabe says it is just a Cavendish sport. I'd have to agree, from what I've seen -- which does NOT include fruit on mine! It is definitely not a Sucrier and doesn't look like an AA of any type to me.

I tried twice to grow the Logees Lfinger. Both times the plant grew to 4 ft looking ok then declined. Tried to save its pups by potting. They croaked after 9 months and never showed any vigor. It can't stand cool weather for one thing. Something else was wrong too but don't know what. Same thing with Gran Nain. All the others grow, pup and fruit like crazy.

Ok the sucrier comment was based on something I read online. :+ )
Well glad I didn't try it.. Maybe two years ago an ebay seller got mad at me for asking if he was really sdc instead of what he was advertising.. I asked him if he may have obtained the plant from a bad source. He said he ordered it directly from the nursery. i saw the fruit pics and thats all I could think of.. Mystery solved I guess?

Yes, I guess so. I don't think it is actually SDC -- doesn't seem stocky enough -- but probably just another very dwarfed sport of a Cavendish variety.
