I think it has been in the pot for 3-5 years. I potted up several Namwah (full size pups) to give to a friend. He never picked them up so I just kept giving them water. This is the second one to bloom. When I saw the bloom on the first plant I quickly stuck it in the ground. I got two or three bananas from that plant. The pot that this one is in is very small, I don't think putting it in the ground will help.
I have another potted Namwah blooming. That plant is about 8' tall. It was about 6' tall when I put into the rope bucket about two years ago. I moved its sister plant which was about the same size to the back fence and put it in the ground. It has a bloom also. I wonder what the size and how many bananas each plant will produce?
