Ornamental of just not flowering?
Dear Banana enthousiasts,
I have had a "banana" tree for about 7 years but it has never flowered.. It has been standing indoors near the window at about 19-20 degrees. Can I change the way I treat my tree to make it flower? Or is it an ornamental tree that has nothing to do with banana's?? (hope not..) Kind regards, Hidde from The Netherlands |

Re: Ornamental of just not flowering?
It looks to me to be a Super Dwarf Cavendish type or Truly Tiny. Which most will not flower for me! The TC versions anyway. I kept a few alive for 3 years and no flower. If you get lucky and get a pup off an older one closer to the Musa Novak you could get fruit! I haven't fruited any of my novaks yet but have high hopes. They are quite a bit taller though.
That's my experience with super dwarfs. Way better chance getting a flower or even fruit with a dwarf Orinoco or real Raja Puri. Good luck!

Re: Ornamental of just not flowering?
I think it just needs a bigger pot but too big and it gets heavy.

Re: Ornamental of just not flowering?
I would think the lack of real heat could also play a roll.

Re: Ornamental of just not flowering?
That's so much for the response guys!!
Reading a bit more about this type I think light can also still be an issue... Maybe I'll add a quicker flowering version and see if it will flower in the mean time. Great to have a better idea of the type of banana it is. Cheers |

I also believe most SDC TCs will not flower or fruit as well! Not good odds anyway. If you want an SDC that fruits! Get a pup off of someone who has fruited theirs.

Re: Ornamental of just not flowering?
I would agree that it can use a bigger pot. 20*c is a little to cold. In my opinion it would do better at 21/25. Good luck!
