My Saba has 2 'good leaves' 2 combs(shredded leave from hail damage) and a flag leaf. The flower has yet to emerge. Any chance of fruit surviving?
My Ice Cream is in the same predicament. Thanks

I would think so. As long as the weather stays warm and water plenty, you should be ok. Cut off or remove and pups. Pups tend to steal away energy needed to produce a good size fruit bunch.

My Ice Cream came out of winter and throw up one good leaf and the flag leaf all other leaves are brown and shredded. The wind shredded the new leaf and it went on to produce a normal banana bunch. In a couple of months I can let you know how they taste.
There is hope!
