Awesome bananas, Taylor!!! I can't get over how short the CA Gold banana is. This must be a short banana--looks to be about 6 ft. It would probably be an easy one to dig up and store for the winter.

Taylor, what are you going to do with the C.Gold fruit? Are you going to bring it in and try to ripen them when it gets too cold?

I think they will ripen before our first frost.

3-4 months from now is Oct-Nov ~15...and our average first frost is Nov 17th. Last year our first frost was in December though.

Wow Taylor, some cool banana's you have their, and what a collection you're getting! They grow real fast as well in your climate, and I also look forward to seeing pics of the Ornata bloom! Keep up the good work.

Thanks, take care
