Default Cavendish are out of the greenhouse

Last week we moved our banana trees out of the greenhouse.
We have 6 dwarf Cavendish and they are sending up pups since we moved them out of 2 gallon pots. I need to find 2 more pots.



The one in bloom is what brought me to the forum in the first place because it is choked. It seems to be doing OK, am I right? I am hoping to get at least a few bananas from the plant this year.



We have a 96' commercial greenhouse that we heat to 55 degrees in the winter. Of course during the day it gets quite warm in there on a sunny day in the middle of the winter.

You name it, it is our 15,000 gallon pond. I started to grow the bananas to screen the greenhouse from the view of the pond. For the record we grow and ship pond plants all over the USA.

Looks great! I too keep my Cavendish in a pot and move them in the greenhouse for the winter. May I ask, what side pot is the fruiting one in? I've had mine for about 3 years not and still haven't gotten a flower.

25 gallon pot. It was in a 15 gallon pot that split when I first noticed the bloom.
So we just moved the both plants without disturbing the roots to the 25 gallon pot.
