bls-fla

First off, I'm in SE Florida, near Palm Beach. About 5 years ago I put in a plant I bought at Home Depot. Don't have a clue what variety, but the fruit is/was small, I guess finger bananas? After about two years I produced a large stalk of fruit; however, either my monster dog or local wildlife broke the stalk and all was lost. Since then I've often gotten a new florescence but at the most one fruit, usually none. Many flowers, no fruit. I remove the old stalk after the false alarm, I water, and I feed a balanced fertilizer. What am I doing wrong? As we speak I have one fruit.

Welcome to bananas.org

Many flowers? Only one fruit? Maybe it is an ornamental plant or it almost sounds like not even a banana plant (hahaha home depot you said...) Most banana growers on here are happy to just get ONE flower!

That the link to the answer to all your fruit tree adventures
by the sound of things ya got a non fruit bearing Musa . but because your in Fla just up the highway I also can say if your in sand you might just not be feeding ut enough.. Please notice I said " MIGHT "... Buying a banana plant from any big big store is kinda like dating in high school.. Ya just never know what your getting. One of my closest friends has banana plants I gave him . He never gets large bananas because he seems to forget to feed his bananas..
