Hi Ty and SirD,
Thanks for the comments. The flower was beautiful and it produced 40+ finger size bananas. Unfortunately they didn't fill in before the cold weather hit. I was planning to bring the plant indoors with reduced leaves but the plant became a victim of my work schedule that was messed up because of the virus. The pstem broke in the wind.....
The chamaluco was 2.5 years old. In the first full growing year, the pup started at 1' tall and a little over 4' tall when starting the second full growth year. This has happened several times to me so now I'm planning to start the first full growing season with a 3' tall pup and see if I can get the timing better. I won't know for another year. I do think 'stress' fruiting could be a factor.
It grows well indoors for me as well. (Compared to VC / Patupi)
