Patty in Wisc · 07-18-2010, 11:22 AM

I feed mine the same I use for nanas... 15-5-30. I was told they like high K (NPK). Since using it this spring, I have 3 little growths on end of one segment that is attracting black ants. Could these be the start of flowers? Ants aren't anywhere else on the very large plant... I knock them off (6ft up) & they are back in a short time. I can't tell yet if these are reg growth of new branches or start of flower.
Jana, I heard the red fleshed ones taste best.
