Re: Dwarf Cavendish? Or is there any chance it will be tall?

Yes, it’s for good drainage/aeration mainly, plus it binds up nutrients and releases them slowly.

Re: My Musa "Cuba"

Is this just a M. basjoo or is there a chance it's another species? The seller generally knew his bananas and wasn't trying to scam... but everything can happen
