Regarding a few of the questions..

I will try and keep it. Though I don't know if the flower will fully emerge before we have "winter" here. I had this happen last year on my D brazilian. It bloomed in september the fruit did fine all winter (without protection) and ripened this spring (even though all the leaves were fried) and were delicious. Hopefully This banana plant can push this flower Asap.. Should I fertilize??

The location of the banana plant is in a windy area as I live on a hill so they leaves may get badly damaged over winter... lol they get pretty shreded in the summer!

The p stem is between 13 and 16 feet tall..

No wonder it's been pupping like crazy, I've harvested over 6 pups this summer alone.

As for it being a pre flag leaf. this leaf is about have the length of the other leaves.

I hope I'll get to see the flower/bananas and be able to identify whether or not it's a true blue java ice cream .
