I have a Dwarf Namwah which bloomed back in late May. In my opinion, banana growth has been quite slow. Coming out of winter, it pushed out about 4 leaves. The mat has about 5 total plants - One of them is a tall pup looking like it's about to bloom too.

Question: What can I do to help speed up the fruit growth? I live in N. CA with frost comming in about 1.5 months.

Backyard is that a current pic? My dwarf namwah started fruiting in early August and are getting plump know. The problem may be not enough leaves before fruiting but that is just a guest. Good luck.
