The height is between 2.5 - 3m (8'-10').
My concern is to know if this is going to have any eatable fruit in the future, as it occupies a valuable south facing location where I could put another named banana from the ones I have now in pots (Ice Cream, Dwarf Cavendish, Pitogo etc).
If it's a Cavendish, why did not produce any fruit? Is it a matter of a disease or deficiency? This one gives pups all summer, and I remove the old stems that have flowered.
My island is Aegina, and is 15 miles from Pireaus-Athens. Temps very rarely fall below 2 Celsius, once in 2-3 years, and then only for 1-2 nights. Humidity in winter is between 40-70%, and summer is hot-dry (except early mornings that we have high humidity for some hours).
I'm in dillema about to remove or not this banana..
