How can I grow bananas from my trees?
Hey! Is there any way for me to be able to grow bananas from my trees? Considering that I live in Northeastern Ohio and the fact that I have to bring my plants inside over winter. I have yet to get one stinking banana! Any ideas? Thanks in advance.....

Re: How to get bananas off your tree...
To be more specific I’ll keep the banana trees in the ground from spring thru fall. In October I will dig them up then put in them pots. I will then bring them inside and keep them growing until next May. When I will bring them out and plant back in the ground. Will that allow me to be able to have my trees flower and then grow fruit?

Re: How to get bananas off your tree...
It should..... Plenty of sun, water, and fertilizer. Ty uses MOP and urea to fertilize. I can't find a bulk supplier of it yet..... Fringe cohol is a great variety for that. Fruits relatively quickly, and ripens quickly.

Re: How to get bananas off your tree...
Gee thanks for that! I am glad to know that it might just work after all! I can’t wait to tell some people about this! They don’t believe me that I could get bananas! Brilliant!

Re: How to get bananas off your tree...
Depending on your variety, the banana plant needs 280 to 340 plus warm growing days (upper 70s to 90 deg F) to fruit. Then require 3 to 6 months to ripen the fruit. So do your math and keep the plant very warm with bright lights during the winter.
Some members of the forum have stored their plants bare root in the garage or basement (dormant) then set out the following spring; And, successfully fruited their nanas. |

Re: How to get bananas off your tree...
Alrighty then! Thanks for explaining! Very interesting! I will have to try that! However, now I wish that spring was just starting and not fall! You know so I can try all this stuff on my plants that I’ve learned from this site!
