Default Re: Question about fruiting bananas.

It would probably depend on how mature the plant was when you planted it. My understanding is that it takes about a year for the DC to flower and about another 6 months for the fruits to ripen, so, my guess is that in Illinois, you'll need to find some way to protect for the winter.
