Now that I've figured out how to attach the photo (!), I'll ask again. I know I've done everything wrong. I haven't removed the new corms. I have to have these on the deck because deer eat everything else, but it is Zone 11 and very hot in summer (110F+). It is also windy often, so the plants have gotten torn up, dried out.

After 6 years, no fruit. So, what can I do now? Do I need to separate each one in a pot? Why have they not even flowered?

I had them under a patio umbrella because the sun fried them--but it broke & blew away (3rd time this year). I will put the umbrella back when I find it!

Any comments would be appreciated. ( I live on an island in Southern California, U.S.)

There are a number of members from S. California familiar with your environment and conditions so hopefully they will help out but one thing for sure...those nanners are way too crowded. Looks they are growing in a NY subway at rush hour which is not the atmosphere to produce a flower. Maintaining one fruiting plant per pot will help out tremendously. For larger plants I have read some members use 45 gallon pots per plant.

Divide and up pot. Don't forget to feed.

You should grow it in the underground, this is the best way, if you can not do this, you can grow with bigger pots. I think you also should separate one in a pot. They will have more space to develop faster and bigger.
