The weather seems to have been poor this year in Southern California. Not much rain and some humidity. But my bananas are coming on gang busters. I think I have about 5 bunches in various stages of development. I have either eaten or tossed most of two others.
Would love to find out what kind I have ben raising for 20 years. Love the plants for their looks and just because they are so different.
Glad I found the site.

I wrote that back in September. Now in July, I have two of those bunches that are finally ripening up enough to eat. They were green for a long time. But "never give up".
