These pics were taken June 27, 2008.
The pics in the first post were taken just today, although the bunch was cut 2 days ago.
The first few hands were turning yellow before I chopped the plant down. The next few turned yellow over the past two days.

About two years.
I actually had two Saba bloom, one was from TC and the other (the bunch in this thread) was from a corm I bought from a member here. The TC fruits never plumped up, very disappointing. The plant got quite raggedy and was just about to fall over, I waited as long as possible and they never plumped up.
These obviously did though and these were from the corm I grew out. fwiw
I will take pics of the measly bloom I cut from the other Saba, its still out in the yard.
This plant was still bright green when I cut them and was doing great. They were turning yellow so it was time. Was really interesting doing the TC and the corm side by side. Not so scientific, just an experience of mine.

Hey! What the heck. Give them some competition. Take a picture with your shirt off! At least we know that the bananas are home grown.

It is not the first time that poor performance has been reported from small corms, esp. TC. I recently received a Dwarf Namwa TC and I'm hoping to "grow the corm" as much as possible. The plant is in a #3 pot with a 40% shade cloth hood. Also, I'm feeding it a 1/2 cup of 3-3-3 per month. Well see what happens -- it might take a generation or two before developing some sizeable corms.

Congratulations, Jarred. Very nice bunch of bananas there that reminds me of the Banana Boat Song - did you drink rum all day after your harvest???

That's one thing about the nematode quarantine in California: it makes it harder for us to buy something other than TC plants. I think my little TC Raja Puri was about 18 months old before it died in the freeze 18 months ago before ever having the chance to bloom. But it's pup is now in bloom, thankfully, and I have several pups. So it does require more patience that starting out with a large corm.
