GT, I saw that and thought it was a nanner, but wasn't sure- any idea which one? Saw the zebras, too, gonna have to go back and one or two of those, along iwth the nanner! I picked up a neat little ivy there- white in the middle, green on the outside of the leaf, it's cute.

Looks like it could be the same one I have. Zebrina, it's ornamental.

That's what I was thinking, too!

That definately looks like it! azpitgirl, where do you have yours? Inside or out?

Mine are on the patio and are doing fine.

hey trolip,

was it labeled as a super dwarf or just dwarf?

My Safeway didn't have any kind of label on 'em.

Just says Dwarf banana

Very nice! I have a few different bananas growing outside and they seem pretty happy so far (though my Musa basjoo looks like it's not too happy with the heat, but it's still growing well (it's hardy to -15 F so it should survive the winter just fine, it's the summer I'm worried about, lol)). I've got a "super dwarf" dwarf Cavendish too, plus one of the zebra stripe types--I really like the floppy foliage. My zebra banana is in partial shade...the others are all in full bore sun.

Yours is great...keep us posted on how it does for you.
Take care,
Grant

mine have taken off since i now water them everyday. 100+ degree temps and humidity in the teens was doing everything in. all the plants look more lively now that the monsoon is here. however, i still water everyday. no rain at my house. bummer!
