Hoping for an I.D. #2 (pics)

17 years ago

Here is banana #2. It is currently about six and a half feet tall and growing VERY rapidly - the one in the first post has not grown nearly this fast.

And again, any information is very much appreciated.

My guess is something in the Cavendish family.

I agree, The dark psuedostem looks like my SDC.

Probably a regular Dwarf Cavendish

Maybe a Super Dwarf Cavendish, you can tell by the the red and black pseudostem and the shape of the leaves. Somewhat popular, too.

Dwarf? How big do dwarfs get?

I have named this one Audrey II because it's practically growing before my eyes.

My others are putting out a leaf about every two weeks. This one takes about 6 days for a new leaf to come out and completely unfold.

I am tempted to construct a temporary greenhouse around it - the adjoining screened in area is converted to a greenhouse during the winter.
