PLANT OF THE MONTH: MUSA ‘DWARF LADY FINGER
(HIT) - If you’ve ever wanted to grow bananas—real, edible bananas—in a pot on your patio or balcony, Musa ‘Dwarf Lady Finger’ is for you. This new banana plant only needs to get five feet tall, which is about as good as it gets in the world of dwarf bananas. Dwarf Lady Finger fruits early, outpacing other container-sized banana plants. The fruiting flower stem displays itself beautifully, arching and pendulating from the plant’s crown. The trunk and leaves are modest in size, which makes it manageable for indoor and patio culture. Best of all, the four-inch to five-inch fruit is sweet and delicious. Give this plant plenty of warmth, sun, water and fertilizer, and in no time you'll be harvesting a bountiful crop. Musa ‘Dwarf Lady Finger’ sells for $24.95 from Logee’s, 1-888-330-8038, www.logees.com.
