I have little room anymore where I live to actually plant trees in my yard. I started donating my larger trees to the school my daughters go to so that I can grow them out and resource them as plant banks and testing sites.
I have about 7 different types of bananas at one school and this one, my Blue Java that I got from Crazy Banana finally fruited.
The bunch is a bit small as are the bananas themselves but I attribute that to not thinning the mat. I planted 1 plant with 1 pup about 2 years ago and now there are about 15+ plants and pups crowded in a small area. I will be thinning this mat out over the next week and replanting some of the pups for other mats at different schools.
Some of the pups will now be for Macro Propagation to start producing true blue javas to sell and trade.
Pretty excited about these ones as I know the source and know they are true Blue Javas. The bunches have been on the tree for at least 5-6 months and no sign of yellowing so I cut these off in order to ripen and taste.
