I’ve had this plant for three years. Brought in each winter as I live just south of Cincinnati OH. Let me know your thoughts please!!:08:

I don't know what you think it is. .... But I see a nice bud/flower growing. How tall is the plant?

I was hoping it was a bud/flower! I was told when I got the plants that they were non-fruit bearing. So I’m really excited. The plant is 8-9 ft tall. I’ll try to post a pic of the plants. Unfortunately it’s the big one in the back corner. This plant is part of the group I was given, which are the first banana plants I have ever grown.

Its definitely flowering, but the info you originally got is correct in that it is the wild species Musa basjoo, which will not produce edible fruit. But, its still fun to watch it grow and flower, so enjoy.

A couple updated pictures. Yesterday was the first time it showed any bananas. Very excited although the growing season is rapidly coming to an end :(

Looking good! Those green/yellow basjoo flowers are really pretty.

This picture was taken last night. Although they are small, I have counted over 30 banana's. That's not counting the ones under the leaves that just opened, those little guys are tiny. Any insight or guidance would be much appreciated.
