Just got back form HD. They actualy had a great assortment of house plants, including a very very nice sago ( no name ( of course , mabey coontie??), as well as the banana you are about to see. In 95% sure its M.Acuminata sp. But im not sure if its the dwarf ones ( that only get a foot or 2), or just the normaly found "dwarf Canevdish". Can any one tell ??

Dwarf Cavendish, I believe. http://www.bananas.org/wiki/Musa_Dwarf_Cavendish
I've never had any luck with them.

Gives me a reason to post a tyty video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE59JogUNBE

Man do I ever hate their tasteless ads and misinformation.

Awsome... im hoping its a Dwarf Cavendish. I left one in calgary. It was a foot tall, ine half dead leaf when I bought it, and when i gave it away it was 4 feet tall, 4 foot leaves, and just put out a new pup. If i can get it to grow in Calgary, ( inside of course), here shouldnt be a problem, even as a summer bedding plant..

Nice "informative" video LOL. The best thing is that they are all my age or younger, which means the hobby is anything but dead.

Thanks for the clarification. I was hoping its not one of those "super dwarfs" that only get a foot tall or 2.

Peace dude

Dude- They're younger than I am for sure!

I hate those guys...

One good thing about Cavendish dude.....
they seem to grow well inside if temps are
over/near 70F in a sunny location.

I was hoping for a "dwarf Canvendis", but i ended up with the "super dwarf cavendish". Can still get to 4 or 5 feet, with a fat trunk. Not exactly what I wanted, but this one flowers at 2 -4 feet, and apperantly suckers like no tomorrow.

LOL I cant say I hate them. More like, I wish i had the kind of plants they got. I was born in the wrong place ( and probably wrong decade too LOL).

Your right about the temps I think jim. It was right by the furnace outlet, so it got heat, but it needed profuse misting to get it through the winter. IF basjoo made it, a Dwarf Canvendish will
