The Indian got really tall but no sign of a flower yet, and it's leaning so much I might have to cut it down before it falls and tears out a terrace wall or two.

But here's my question: One Hawaiian actually has a stalk of bananas, but they stopped growing and have been at a green, small stage for months now. No signs of rot but the flower is all dark and dried up. After a few months like this, is there any hope of them ever ripening?

Thanks everybody.
