hey all my mom has had these banana Plants forever.
well when we move she keeps pups there origionally from Panama 30+ yrs ago
so we have moved alot .
In NJ they where 18 ft tall dug up pups to move to oregon 12 ft tall Dug up pups for alaska in pots Summer 8 ft tall Dug up more pups now back in oregon
these pups are 3 ft tall 18 yrs old and Have been doing well no fruit since her flowers keep dropping off ( may just be the floweing type)

any way she also has them in 2 g pots . what gives is this Because there always indoors Lack of room to grow or what ?
she drives me nuts over them Tammy

It may just be a language barrier, but I don't really quite understand your post too well. It sounds like she has dug pups whenever she moved, so the current pups would not be 18 years old...right? Since a banana pseudostem dies after it is through flowering, I'm not quite sure I understand when you say "no fruit since her flowers keep dropping off."

Just tell her to plant them outside.
