Thanks for the responses! I'm thinking now, that it came in 2 1/2 " pots. When I potted them up, I didn't notice a corm..just a nice little rootball which is why I thought a seedling. I left soil intact. Leaves were very small too. I did add a "point" to the map where I live (Milwaukee) but didn't know how to fill in the other stuff - don't know what it means LOL
Wow Anna, you planted in March '04 & just now are getting fruits? I know someone in SC who planted in March '05 -inground, & he has fruits ripening.
Maybe if I got a big pup earlier this yr, I'd have a chance of getting fruit next yr. If I plant mine outside in spring, it'll be too big to drag back in sunroom. I keep hearing that IC is the best tasting nanna so really had my hopes up. How cool it would be to have neighbors see a nanna tree with fruits on it here in zone 5!!!
Anna, how tall is yours now? Inground?
