I started keeping record of the leaf count on my banana pups. The Namwa pup from July 1, 2013 has grown 35 leaves so far and about 10 feet tall. I have another Namwa pup from July 2013 that also has 35 leaves. My Goldfinger stem planted May 22, 2013 grew only 32 leaves before inflorescence and the first hand appeared December 29,2013. That bunch has already been harvested. I have one more Namwa bunch that is ready to harvest now and after that it will be at least 6 months before the next bunch is harvested. I only have 4 mats! It will be interesting to
see how many leaves grow before inflorescence.

My first Namwa pup flowered after about 13 months growth and another 4 months before the bunch was harvested. The first Namwa banana stem
planted flowered after only 11 months after planting.
