5 feet tall
My original pup bloomed in 14 months. planted in great soil and fairly large.These new pups attached to the main corm took one year to bloom.
I removed one of the pups laST YEAR and planted it separately, its now 3 feet PS so I guess it will bloom early in the summer next year or during the winter .. I always wait to see what the plant does then smile and act like thats what I wanted ...

Supposed to be Pitogo. Sure hope so. 18 months from small pup to flower. Some interesting color on this one. The plant itself is totally green. Please weigh in if it doesn't seem to be Pitogo. I guess I should know in a couple weeks, as the fruit should be pretty obviouisly stubby early on from pics I've seen.
UPDATE: Not Pitogo, it's a Praying Hands.

How tall is your Pitogo at flower emergence? I resurrected mine after many years potbound. The last time I had fruit it was about the same height as PK. Medium tall at 14 ft.

10-11ft maybe? My first flower though, and I've noticed 2nd flowers of many, at least of my taller ones like Praying Hands, Mysore, and Gros Michel, have been at least 2ft taller than the initial flower. I've also noticed that some taller varieties that get very tall elsewhere in Hawaii where there is actual soil, don't get quite as tall in my yard where the soil is basically mulch covered, porous lava rock.

UPDATE: My "Pitogo" is another Praying Hands. That makes my purchases from Aloha Tropicals now 1 correct out of 8.

Manzano. First time for this variety in my yard. A smaller p-stem on a large mat. I was surprised this stem bloomed first.

Basjoo,two plants,dwarf Orinoco hanging and Namwah is sending up flag leaf which is late in the year. As long as are weather stays normal it should have time to throw fruit,but making it long enough for me to remove it to ripen would be tough. If we had a normal spring and summer these would have bloomed months ago. First flowers and fruits I ever had so can't complain

I had the Palm Beach Post over yesterday and they wanted a picture of my wife and I next to some bananas. I had these guys bagged, but I unbagged them for the picture. They look pretty good and are currently about 2 months old.

Good bunch Nick. Now folks can see why fruit are bagged. Pristine skins for the market.

Did the PBP say if and when they will publish your pic?

Possibly Sept 16th, but it all depends on what happens between now and then.
