I'll have to let you know later on. I have a large potted ice cream banana in the greenhouse, that I think it should bloom this year sometime.
It's about 8.5 feet tall or so in a large pot with three pups in the pot too ranging from 2-3.5 feet tall. So it's surely maturing.
It's the banana in my "breakroom" picture that we sit under all summer in the driveway. This year, I'm going to tie it up to the garage though, it blew over a couple of times last year. I'd hate to have it do that with a bloom on it!
I will have to say, it's been one of the most easy to overwinter in the greenhouse at 50 degrees. It really doesn't have much change in condition at all.
