Re: My first Banana plant!!!
I'm in zone 6 and producing fruit is a 2 to 3 year ordeal but I enjoy it. It turns into a neighborhood party when the bunch ripens lol! It's so funny how so many people find it interesting how bananas fruit. Bananas aren't to hard to grow and are very rewarding .

Re: My first Banana plant!!!
That's great! I have never heard of "Da Jiao". Did the fruit you got last time it flowered taste good?

Re: My first Banana plant!!!
Quote:
Musa dajiao is a special banana variety. Da means "big" and jiao = "banana". It is a cross between the Musa sikkimensis and Musa balbisiana. This banana grows very fast and you do not have to wait long for a big banana. The underside of the banana leaf is set with a white haze. It is a large, well-edible banana that tends to "Namwah" in taste. The Musa dajiao must be able to overwinter frost-free. In the open ground in winter, this banana would freeze all the way to the ground. This is not fatal for the banana plant, it will come back from the roots in the spring. The banana plant would not produce bananas because it must be at least 2 years old to be in bloom. The Musa dajiao comes from China and the banana is used a lot for consumption.

Re: My first Banana plant!!!
Good luck with the flower
 Your orchids and fruit from your web link look awesome too. For apple pie use Northern Spy is the mantra around these parts. |

Re: My first Banana plant!!!
Nice to see you back Luis. I liked the taste of mine that bloomed last summer. I'm afraid another stem will bloom in September what will be to late to have ripe fruit in my climate
