Ready to learn in Redding, CA
Hey Everyone! I just found this site and I am excited to get a chance to learn about bananas!! I have seen banana trees grow in Redding all of my life, but I have NEVER seen any that bear fruit. I have had a variety of banana trees over the years with only some success at wintering them through our often freezing winters. This year my 2yr old banana produced a flower and now real, honest to goodness BANANAS! I don't think anything has excited me so much. I don't know what variety the banana is, but John Real's webebananas.com suggested you might be able to help me identify it. It has produced three pups so far this year (one I transplanted and the dog killed). I don't know how to proceed from here to determine when the bananas are ripe or how long I can leave them on the tree (not allowing for too much cold). So I will be reading and learning and looking forward to making bananas grow in Redding once more. Did I mention I keep dreaming of banana splits? LOL
