coastie says... Hi, I have dwarf Cavendish ,they don't have that pattern on the leaf,but my blood banana leaves have that pattern.It is not a disease but unique marking, hence the common name 'blood' banana,the fruits are hardly edible, mainly grown for the attractive leaves

fruitlovermyles says... reply from from the cool bananas nursery: Hello Miles, Dwarf Cavendish produces full size "normal" bananas but on a dwarf plant which should reach approximately 1.5 to 2.5 metres tall. It is perfectly normal to have that reddish mottling on the leaves. You have been misinformed on the forum so I am pleased you contacted me to get the facts. Enjoy your fruits; they are so much more delicious than store bought plants! Happy gardening.

Mike Tr says... Markmelb make sure it get plenty of P and K.I personally am not a fan of cavendish and dwarf cavendish.We have very few varieties of bananas compared to most tropical areas of the world.If only we could get another 20 or 30 types in that would suite a wider range of climates and be at the top quality end of the scale. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 21st January 2014 8:33am #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

Markmelb says... Thanks Mike - was sort of thinking that way and try and leave 3 - a Large a medium and a baby sucker - what do you suggest pulling it from pot section ones to remove with as much root as possible and then repot with new potting mix on lost sections and pot up suckers. May even put one in ground somewhere that has some wind protection - Cheers, Mark | About the Author Markmelb , 21st January 2014 9:09am #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |
