Hi all - I bought a house 4 months ago, and found out a month ago I have banana plants! 8 to be exact, of which 2 have now produced the fruit pod (not sure what to properly call it). One popped out March 5th, the other one showed up April 1st.
From what i've found online it takes 60-80 days to grow enough to cut them off and let them ripen off the plant. Is that correct?
Second question is this: They are very small - about 5-6 inches long. I took photos to a local nursery and they confirmed bananas not plantains. But is that size normal?
Third question: How can I find out what type of banana plant this is? I'm new to growing bananas and very excited about it.
Thanks!
