After wintering ,I planted it first week of April,in the ground,tried to keep it dormant,but it added a few leaves,but never did they completely come out to full growth,I though probably,because of low light,and not enough room in the greenhouse,and I kept the temps of the cool side.
Anyway,after planting in the ground,no growth for almost 3 months,no change at all,then the flag leaf appears,now the flower has its head pointed in the downward position,and only 4ft off the ground,this is a pup from another banana that flowered for me 2 years ago,so this is only her second summer outside.
