Default Newbie in S Fl
Greetings,
I recently purchased a home in south Central Fl and as a nana addict was thrilled to see it had a clump of banana trees. In Mid March one began to flower and about 4 hands formed. The bananas were real tiny, about 4 to 5 inches and never plumped up or anything. I waited for them to look more nana like but they shriveled up instead.
So now I have a second flower shooting out with its first hand and I am hoping to find out what I have and what I need to do to get some edible fruit from them.
Where do I go for the basics?
Thanks for any pointers.
I have posted picts in my gallery. The trees are about 10 to 15 feet tall when they flower.
Dan
