    Default I Don't Think They'll Make It

    Bananas were a late bloomer this year. Been a little too cool for them to develop.

    When they start developing by or before Early October they do well (here). These popped out in late December.

    For your sake I hope they do make it. Nothing like banana's fresh off the tree. Once I had that I could never go back to the store bought ones.

    H63 - too cool now for them to continue developing. We've had a couple of freezes/frosts.

    MM - it is a real treat. We're kind of limited in space, so just a few plants. They took a real hard hit a few years ago with a real harsh (by Florida standards) winter. This is the first fruit since that winter. Unfortunately this plant will die off - they do after they bear fruit, but have usually sprouted up another one before they do.
