Yeah a new leaf on a Gros Michel, who would be excited. I want one of those so bad. Currently I am growing a Goldfinger (cue the James Bond music )

Here is an update on the flower. Not if its progressing the way its supposed to as this is my first fruiting banana. Seems like the flower is doing what it supposed to do but the fruit stopped getting any larger...some of the small fruit also have brown discoloration at the base. Is that normal or alright?
