There is a mat of Saba in my neighborhood, he allowed all the pups to grow (10 or so) and didn’t care for them at all. However they are about 40 feet away from a pond so they probably get some moisture. He also probably fertilized his precious lawn, so they got some of that. Anyway, it’s taken 2 years to get fruit. With no care- so, I think it takes longer to fruit at first, and mabye longer to ripen the bananas (not a good idea if you are a frost prone zone), but in the end you get a steady supply of bananas! At least thats my take on on
