My basjoo is pushing out a flower. Last years fruit is still on another stalk in the mat. I was hoping for seeds but the fruit is tiny. Is the fruit from this variety supposed to be small? Does anyone have any pictures of the seeds? Thanks.

I don't think they're supposed to be big. How tall is the p-stem?

Hi Andrew

I think I'm going to have to move to California :woohoonaner:

Here is an old post with excellent pictures of Basjoo fruit and seeds. http://www.bananas.org/f16/ripe-fruits-musa-basjoo-its-seeds-3616.html

The plant is several years old and has an average sized p-stem.

Thank you for the older post. I will pull the fruit and check them out. As for moving to California, I am moving at the end of June and renting my house out July first.

What is an average size for Basjoo in your area? Just curious.

Mine have grown to about nine to ten feet.
