This is my first year growing them, so I hope to have lots of fruit next year. As I mentioned though, some of these are just TC starts that are in the process of being hardened right now - about a third of them. So while there are a good number of plants, most of these are first year bananas, and my tallest is only about 7-8' at this point.
Once I get them going strong next spring, I want to TC several of them myself. This winter I will be working on filling in the gaps with some of the ones I don't have yet, but still want. In part, this is an experiment to determine heat and drought tolerance characteristics for each. Hopefully there will be lots of pups next spring too.
