Tony, regarding the leaf dimensions, I'd say that the mature leaves on the plants in this mat are about 24" wide by 48-60" long. I cut some off of an adjoining plant the other day as they were getting hung up in the latest flower. I was trying to figure out if I should round up a pig and wrap it up in the leaves.

As I recall from 2008, these bananas never ripened up very well and I'm not very hopeful of having enough time to get some ripe fruit from them this year either (unless we get quite warm and stay that way).

I hate having the uncertainties of these unknown varieties!
