This Randy Salter introduction occurred as a mutation of Musa 'Novak'. Musa 'Little Prince' grows to a maximum of 2 1/2 ft tall. A super dwarf with green leaves that are heavily flecked with red when exposed to sun light.

Hi Alan

Musa truly tiny,musa tom thumb,musa little prince aren't they the same nana the next size down from super dwarf cav,i think i remember Gabe15 mention it on Bananas.org.Looks great though

Definately a cav of sorts. It is the standard 'multiple names' to sell more plants Looks like a nice nana though

Its a hybrid, and a very small one, patented in the US.
Definately some Cav in there though.

There are a few more pix in the Wiki here

Oh, if patented it can't be just another name then. Maybe one for me to look out for as I lost ALL my Super Dwarf Cavs last winter and spring

A couple of months on from when i obtained this little musa and i have to say i am very impressed with it as a houseplant.

It was in amongst several lasciocarpa's for a while all of which suffered Red Spider Mite
but for some reason they left this one alone?
Its already pushing out no less than four pups, here's a new picture.

Looks great Alan.The one good thing about the cavendish family is they always send out loads of pups.
