My fruiting Ae Ae got laid over in half with the fruit still intact. I left it as it was hoping that it wasn't a terminal break but the bananas started ripening within a week. I've been eating as many as I could and gave a hand away to my neighbor yesterday. I'm down to 2 hands. I had about 40 fingers all together. I finally whacked it down to the ground Saturday. My white pup began to die; but 3 other pups have joined the two that were already growing, albeit, so very slowly so now I have 5 pups and I think I might get one or two more. My other Ae Ae in the ground which has about 7 feet of psuedostem height was unharmed. I have a third in a pot on my patio which also escaped injury. It's going into the greenhouse for insurance purposes. I always try to have at least one pup that I can put in the greenhouse in case we have one of those bad freezes we seem to get every 20 years or so.
