"Well, all bananas flower and fruit."
Of course, we have the mysterious Siam Ruby, which no one has seen bloom or fruit. We should have a contest for the first person who can post a bloom and/or fruit from this beauty!

'Siam Ruby' definitely flowers and fruits, I haven't seen it yet but know people who have. I think the reason we don't hear about it flowering more is because its just a new variety on the market and most people are growing it as a potted or annual ornamental, not for fruit.

Thanks everyone for all the information, and pics.
Ray, I have asked her about her pups and she tells me they all die when they are less than a foot tall.
I really don't believe most of what she tells me, but will give her the benefit of the doubt and let it go at that.
Saltydad, I would love to have a Siam ruby, if it never made fruit. They are beautiful.

Bonnie
