Growing bananas in the frozen tundra of North America
I received this photo today of a banana plant that I shipped to a Zone 5 member back in the middle of May 2017 and it flowered in September 2017 with 4 hands 61 fingers. It had a money back guarantee to flower in a few months, so that worked out nicely.

Re: Growing bananas in the frozen tundra of North America
I thought the member was planning to split the pseudo stem earlier in the summer so they would have the time
needed to harvest edible fruit, but that never happened.

Re: Growing bananas in the frozen tundra of North America
how does splitting the stem work I have never heard of this. I'm in zone 6 should really be zone 5 and I would love to hear more about this if it makes the plant fruit faster or ripen faster.

Re: Growing bananas in the frozen tundra of North America
Cold weather growers: What are the best ways to force an early bloom?
Banana plants are easy to manipulate, you just need to know what you are trying to accomplish. It's trading a large bunch of fruit that you might not have enough time for the fruit to fill for a smaller bunch that'll leave enough time for the fruit to fill. Quote:
