Well, here we are 4 months after flowering and the fingers are still pretty darn small. I think this bunch has way too many fruit, and the leaves are a bit worn out from the long and cold winter months. In the tropics, new leaves feed the bananas, but up here in Northern California, oftentimes we have old leaves that serve to beef of each finger. Will these be the world's smallest bananas at maturity? Suppose I don't care; as long as they taste great, that's all that matters. Hopefully these will mature before end of October, otherwise I'm not sure this p-stem can take another winter. Photos taken 8/2/17:
Notice the fingers on rajapuri are sorta fattening up, we've been having some great hot weather and warmer nights that has been helping, but overall, it's been a relatively pretty cold summer:
Hand for scale: this bunch makes me feel just a tad bit insecure, LOL
