Been lurking for a while...
North Miami Florida resident, grew up in South Miami in the 60's. Family had our entire driveway lined with different bananas (so I'm somewhat familiar with banana growing).
Anyway, decided I needed some plants for my home. Went to reputable nursury in Broward and bought a nice little 3 foot "Icecream" banana plant. Well it's been 19 months, it has grown to about 10 -12 feet tall with 2 additional shoots that are taller than the original, plus 2 or more suckers. BUT, no flowering or fruit yet. Seems like it has been too long? What gives?
Any suggestions are welcome!
