That's great!! Congrats!

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

Funny thing is this plant was destroyed by the cold. All the leaves were gone and I thought I was just going to get some pups up from the bottom like I have on most of the other plants that were in the ground during the cold winter we had. But it shot out some new leafs and went crazy once it warmed up...

So when should I expect some fruit to eat?

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

Picture of the whole plant? Hope my IC has a flag, fruit. :D

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

Congrats... :^) That's squared away.. Couldn't be Happier for yah :^)

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

Congratulations! I wish I could answer your question (when should I expect some fruit to eat?) but I'm still learning the connection between flag leaves and bananas, lol. Thanks much for the photo.

great good deal :woohoonaner:

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

About 4 to 6 mos. depending on how many leaves are left to ripen the fruit.
Congrats on the flag and fruit!

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?

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

That's it for the fruit the rest are male flowers

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

Thanks Tony, so I should just expect the fruit to plump up over the next few months?

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

I think that your looking at the next four months. I have bunches that have been on my plants for over six months.

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

Any suggestions on fert while fruit are developing?

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

Six months and just now showing some color




Eightr months and no color yet



I just fertilize like usual but maybe theres a better way

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

Any edible banana's is success.. Congrat's Martin :^)

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

wow 8 months, by now the pup should be about to flower!!

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

Pretty close

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

I still say congrats Martin. My IC just flowered & had all MALE blossoms...no nanas.
Hey, how big is the P stem (length & diam) & how long does that flower measure? Thanks

Re: My first flag leaf! woo hoo!
 

How does have all male flowers do all the flowers fall off the fingers i was just wondering .you will get the next one.
