My sister has this plant in her yard. She doesn't remember where they got it but said it could have actually been in the yard when they bought the house many years ago. They don't eat the bananas as her kids are not really banana fans, so I asked her to send me pics and a small plant.. she said she'll send it on Tuesday or Wednesday. But, Does anyone recognize it? She lives in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
The Bananas are small... Only about 6-7 inches in length. I tried them a few years back but don't remember what they tasted like.
The plants are about 10 feet or so tall.
Also, Since I've never grown one and my sisters husband moved it to the far corner because it was... "messy looking", How are they supposed to be "Cleaned" or maintained? They should be cutting out stems once they finish fruiting, Correct? Then just remove dead leaves?
Any help is appreciated.
