Here's my plant:
http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=41666
I'm in San Diego, CA and the plant gets partial to full sun.
It fruited about 3-4 months ago (December I think). The fruit never got very big. The year before that, they did, and we ate them :) These aren't looking big enough to eat and have not grown at all in over a month. The next biggest pup is almost as big as the mother, maybe bigger. So, my questions are:
1) will that second trunk fruit if I don't harvest the current hands?
2) if I cut the current fruit off, will the second trunk fruit faster?
3) what should I do to get bigger fruit?
4) is there anything I can do to control the timing of the fruiting?
Thanks!
