Dwarf Cavendish/Gran Nain questions
Being the wealth of knowledge that this place is, I'm sure someone can help to answer a few questions that I have.....
1) I see pics of young DC's that have the maroon splotchy coloring, but noticed in other pics that bigger more mature DC's are all green. Do they always lose the maroon color as they mature, or can a larger mature DC retain this maroon coloring? How about the Gran Nains coloring, does it lose the maroon splotches as it matures? 2) Am I understanding correctly that Gran Nain is a sport or sub species of DC, and is it supposed to be slightly more cold hardy than DC? 3) What is the difference in Gran Nain and the Gran Nain x Sumatra Zebrina hybrid?

Re: Dwarf Cavendish/Gran Nain questions
From what I understand...
The Dwarf Cavendish and Gran naine are both mutants of the same line of Musa (AAA) 'Cavendish'. I always had the impression that dwarf cavendish was more cold hardy, but I may be wrong. The M. sumatrana x Gran naine hybrid is simply the result of pollinating Musa acuminata 'zebrina' (M. sumatrana) with pollen from gran naine. The result is a seeded fruit. The seeds can be sprouted and the result is the hybrid. I believe M. sumatrana is diploid (AA), while gran naine is triploid (AAA).
