If you decide to put the plant under lights( 250$+-) you will be pressed to have fruit you can even eat.


Are you willing to spend 350.00+- for one banana??
The fruiting and flowering (if it is indeed only 6 weeks) could be outdoors in June-August, when it is plenty hot and humid. Wouldn't that work?
The other several months would be indoors with sun/lights.. I thought bananas could grow well indoors.. How do you grow them in Ohio?
Or don't you get fruit?
