Re: No Bananas
I don't cut my banana plants back until they produce bananas. Some of my banana plants (reds) take years to produce bananas. I would leave them if you want the fruit.

Re: No Bananas
There is never any reason to remove anything green from a banana plant, never.

Re: No Bananas
I have Raja Puri, Goldfinger's, and Dwarf Brazilian's bananas that have been on my plants for months. I'm still waiting for them to fill in. I'm not a expert, but if the fruit looks okay it should be left on the plant until it fills and turns yellow it doesn't matter how long that takes.

Re: No Bananas
I went all out on winterizing this year and just got everything needed to mix my own naner fertilizer. I'm gonna put out the effort this year. I have enough Dwarf Namwah and Raja Puri now around in my yard so I sure hope it happens. Everything's pretty dead right now and yard looks like a bomb went off. I hope to uncover my babies around mid or early March.
