I think I read someone (you?) say that Gabe thought it was some sort of Cavendish variant (iirc it was termed a 'somatic mutation'). If it is indeed a Cavendish, is it the only ladyfinger Cavendish in existence? Don't all the other Cavendish varieties put out much larger fruit?

Re: Musa Dwarf Lady finger now in stock and on sale!
I have something I bought from one of the larger banana growers out of Hilo Hawaii that was labeled Landyfinger. So far it looks pretty much like a Williams or a 1st generation Double Mahoi. No fruit yet after 15 months. Wide open petioles. I'm guessing it is just mislabeled, but the particular nursery had only Ladyfinger from this grower, so who knows. I guess I'll see once it ever fruits.

Re: Musa Dwarf Lady finger now in stock and on sale!
I bought an SDC from a local source and it looks very similar to these "dwarf ladyfingers." It could be an SDC but its almost 4 feet tall after 6 months in the ground. Other SDC's I've owned pupped like crazy after 6 months but these pups are super tiny still. I'll post a pic shortly.
I wonder if its the same plant. Last edited by cheson74 : 11-17-2012 at 11:51 AM. |

Re: Musa Dwarf Lady finger now in stock and on sale!
I have a dwarf ladyfinger, actually several of them now, that Byron gave me when he was in our town, but I'm not really impressed with them. They really don't do much for me and even though I've had it four years now,I don't feel it's close to blooming yet. I did nearly kill it the first winter, it died down to the ground. It doesn't like our 45 degree temps in the greenhouse, and when I put it in the house where it's warmer, it is a magnet for spider mites, much like the ensete and Siam ruby. I actually have more luck so far with super dwarf cavendish fruiting and carrying over winter.

Re: Musa Dwarf Lady finger now in stock and on sale!
Four years later, still the same story -- this one has never fruited for me.
