Did your fruit develop on your Pitogo? How long from flag to fruit? Mine just sent up the flag leaf.

I'd love to know too. I've recently had 3 pretty knowledgable banana people where I live tell me it's their favorite.

mine bloomed sometime in early- to mid-october, but i didn't capture the date so my flag-to-fruit won't be accurate.

Those who said it was their favorite meant eating ripe, uncooked.
