Impressive. Mine is still the size that it was when I got it. I've had to move it twice, but it is ridiculously small. Maybe I got a runt. Oh, well. Yours looks great.

Sad to say the my Viente did not survive the overwintering in the garage. It was all brown when I brought it out. I planted it anyways hoping that it might send up a pup in the next couple of weeks.....

Mine never got any bigger than when I got it, and it died over the winter. All the other bananas around it are doing great so I don't think it is the conditions here. I personally won't plant tissue-cultured bananas again. They just don't seem to thrive when I put them in the ground, and I'm not willing to baby them in a greenhouse before planting them. I have lots of fruiting bananas now anyway. I bought into the hype of a fast-fruiting banana, but I really didn't need it.
