I have been thinking of getting one of these myself (along with every other banana in existence). Thanks for the pictures, I will be following this one for sure. I am very interested in its fruit, I know that won't be for a while though.

Anyone who can grow a banana plant that well [especially through a Canadian winter] gets definite props from me. Good work, it looks awesome!
If they weren't so rare, I might almost consider one myself. But as Rmpmnz said, they're "not easy" and I'm still having problems with easy ones, lol.
Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely be watching this thread.

Had no idea it was so rare till after i got it, when just j was selling ,it wasn't my first choice. I wanted a different nanna and he had no more so i said ok i'll take an orinoco and i'll try the kru, im so happy i bought it now ! when pups are a good size i will try selling some.

Well even your January photo looks great! I've only been growing bananas [or anything else] since May this year so I still have to deal with my first winter this fall [scary]. I drowned 2 dwarf Cavendish banana plants before I found out they don't live in rivers or ponds. I still have a dwarf Cavendish pup and an Ice Cream pup alive [major luck]. But now I'm wanting more color so I ordered [another] Black Thai and a Rojo Zebrina. Hopefully I can keep those alive [remains to be seen, lol].
Anyway, your project is very inspiring! Keep up the good work!

Very nice. The Red Kru banana is definitely one of my favorites. They don't look so majestic and often look horrible but the blooms and the fruit are out of this world in both appearance and flavor. I have some pics of blooms from mine in my gallery as well.
Hopefully you get fruit from yours next year, please keep us posted.
Enjoy them.. they are well worth the wait.
