Default A question for the other Florida Growers

Do any of you guys notice a major uptick in bunch shooting from August-October. I probably had one bunch a month from my Dwarf Cavendish plants in my backyard from March-July and now I have 8 bunches hanging from the plants. This has been the case the past 2 years, is this just the usual situation?

I seem to change the varieties I grow so often that, I have not noticed a pattern. All the musa I've grown have produced a flower anywhere from 9-12 mo. after planting except Siam Ruby. I didn't pay attention to what time of year they produced. Congrats on your fruit!!!

I am leaving my old rented house for good on Saturday and will have to leave some unfilled bunches hanging out. God knows those plants have probably been there in excess of 10 years. The good thing is that I get to start all over again at my new house.
