Fat Dwarf Orinoco Pup

austinl01 · 10-08-2012, 02:22 PM

Well, after growing what I thought was Dwarf Orinoco for many years, I found out it was not the real thing. Man, I was disappointed. The plant grew way too tall to be a dwarf and turned out to be regular Orinoco.

I chose the dwarf form so that I could dig and store it easier than a taller banana. Anyway, I'm looking for a true Dwarf Orinoco. I would like to purchase a nice large corm and pup from someone on the board rather than another source. Does anyone have a nice extra pup that I can overwinter? Thanks for reading my post.

Cheers,
Austin

I have one that's also suppose to be a dwarf. I will try to take a picture and maybe you can tell. As I also have huge tall orinoco as well. This one is no where near the size of the others.

Thanks, Migael! I think I better wait til spring to get a pup as it won't have time to root before it gets chilly. Keep that baby growing! It looks very nice.

i would like to get a babby so i can start it in a planter till next spring. If you could rap it in new paper it should Google till it gets to me in Arizona.
