I have a few here in Pa. The one in the ground is about 3 -4 feet tall. Being a SDC, it won't get any taller. The leaves are huge for it's size. I would really love to see it flower, but I don't think it's going to happen. These SDC bananas make great landscaping plants! I will post a photos by this weekend for my update.

My super dwarf is acting much like yours, except I bought mine half off b/c it was in bad shape. It went through it's spurt later than yours.

However, I think this is normal. Dwarfs usually grow slower.

I saw a SDC at the Denver Botanic Gardens. It had a pseudostem about 5 1/2 feet tall, about 8' to the top of the leaves. The diameter of the trunk was about 8-10 inches. I was suprised at the size, much larger than I would expect. Esp. when comparing to my own SDC in a pot.

my sdc is in the ground. Its been in the ground since the day i bought it in April.Can sdc be fruited in-ground in zone 9 with crop covers?
