One of my Bananas is blooming, which I didn't expect. Every winter the leaves die back every time we have a hard frost, but the stalks don't seem to die.
I've had these plants (I started with two) for a little less than two years.
When I bought them, I was told they were Himalayan bananas, but I'm beginning to doubt that. The Nursery is gone now, so there are no further clues there.
They are flowering, but will there be fruit?
They get a good deal of water, but I have never fertilized them (or anything else).
