My question on the topic is if a Cuban red takes two years to produce harvestable fruit is it still producing 30 leaves. Also are you saying some plants may produce 25 and others 35 leaves depending on climate and nutrition etc.

I had been told the leaf count varied by species. So I dunno. I see it's not an accurate indicator of bloom time, but I am still curious how long these plants will eventually live to be. An ugly tree can live to be hundreds of years old, but a beautiful banana plant can't? That's not fair.
