Thanks JB, it looks like your Patupi is really kicking ass! Mine took a long time to root and initiate growth. I think we both got ours about the same time.

Yeah mine took a bit to root as well but when I put her in the ground she headed for the sky LOL!I just hope we have enough warm weather left to see it complete a fruit cycle since it only needs 3-4 weeks after the bloom comes out :08:.

Nice collection. What will you do for the winter?

Thanks. I don't do anything for winter. If it's a mild winter, we'll get bananas next year. If it's too cold they freeze down and bounce back.

My Veinte Cohol has a flower bud emerging after completely freezing to the ground this past Winter! Hopefully we can reliably get fruit every year from this variety in Zone 9...

Congratulations on your flower. Eagerly waiting to find out how the fruit develops.
