Default Re: dumb newbie question

The plant looks very good. In tropical regions it takes 6 month until the blossom come out. Then it took 12 week more until harvesting. This is valid for a temperature between 20 °C (min) and 35 °C (max) = Ecuador. In your case you will see the blossom next year. Take care about your banana, if the temperature can slow less than 14 °C, this will damage the banana. It this temperature the growing stops. (This is the reason we you find this temperature on all the banana boxes. The banana stops growing or when packed the process of ripening).
Here in Buenos Aires it can take until 1,5 year from a pop until harvest. My local bananas are protected by high trees. But after harvest they taste very well.
