Hi,
I found some good information on growing bananas at:
Growing Bananas - How To Grow Banana Plants And Keep Them Happy (http://www.tropicalpermaculture.com/growing-bananas.html)
Good for a newbie like myself.

I've included a picture here. My plant has a few bananas from the initial flowers, but each successive row opens, then after a day, the flowers fall off. Should I be doing something, or is this natural? I see other folks post pics of large bunches of bananas.

Any advice is appreciated. I thought I posted this yesterday, but now can't find it so here I am again.

thanks!
rick

I have a stand with many plants and only take pups when I want to start a new area. Guess if I want fruit, I better manage.
Thanks so much.
