Because of the very mild winter we had the banana plants didn't die completely back. This year they are blooming earlier than ever before. Here's 3 blooms Picture 004.jpgPicture 005.jpgPicture 006.jpg It's possible that with several months of growing season left I might get to see some turn yellow instead of just turning black and rotting in October.

Apparently edible fruit may depend on whether you have cultivated fruiting bananas or ornamental bananas.




Fascinating. Great photos!

How long do they take to get big? I planted a small one a few weeks ago and it's only grown a few inches.

Make sure you provide lots of water (daily) and good compost & MiracleGrow type fertilizer. They are heavy feeders while growing & you want to keep it moist. Don’t let it dry out. I give our trees about 5 gallons per day (they are in a big pot).
