Re: 2 Mystery Bananas
My term “filling” I’m talking about the fruit (maturing/getting fatter). Now this in turn does cause the whole bunch to fill the gaps. Never thought of it is way! Haha.
But my problem is they flower prior to winter then the first freeze gets them. I can keep some pstems down to 25-30 but leaves and fruit get destroyed very fast!
How can you solve this?
Either move south! Or try to schedule your cycles around you. Once you know about how long a variety takes to complete a cycle (including winter) (about 300-350 days for me) you can select a pup for fruiting around May/June vs Feb/March.
Very important! Remember to give them time to grow at least 5-6 leaves before they fruit! A little late and more leaves is much better than a little early and 0 leaves!! It’s all about timing! It took me a good 3 years to get my numbers right.
