Wish I had your temps right now! I plan to bag my bunch of mystery bananas today in hopes of keepingthem a little warmer. I'll cut off the male flower also, should have probably done that a while ago though it is unclear if it really provides any benefit to do so.

This 'California Gold' of yours is looking rather like a 'Namwah' instead. Where did you get it from?
