Dwarf banana grown at my back yard

COMMENTARY 

I share with those of you who are not familiar with this 'dwarf banana'.

It's a name my family has given to this banana species because it grows up to around a metre in height and bears fruit.

We got a sucker from a guy from the Eastern Highlands who was a security guard at a property we were leasing at Gordon's in Port Moresby.

Apart from its shorter height, it takes well less than 12 months to bear fruit.

So if you're considering agriculture as a business, this banana would certainly enable you to harvest in short time for sale.

The food itself  when ripe is very tasty I must assure you and usually more than four suckers can be removed from the base for replanting.

Imagine a sweet ripe banana out of the refrigerator during a scorching Port Moresby's humid weather.
