Can someone confirm this is a Manzano bloom?
I've got (what I believe to be) a manzano blooming. Can someone who has this variety confirm that this matches their blooms? Thanks in advance.

Re: Name this banana?
Thank you. Given the maturity of the mat at this point, I'd be surprised not to see a bloom soon. I'll post a pic when I have one.

Re: Manzano flowering in Phoenix!
I don't have an exact measurement, but I would guess it's a bit over nine feet to the flower. That's based on the 10-foot wall I can see behind it, it's a bit shorter than that.

You're in Arizona? Bananas grow well in Arizona, but struggle to build roots in the dry soil, as well as to acclimate to the intensity of our sunshine. I start everything first in a pot where I can...

Would you cut this out?
Hi guys, we had a lot of rain the last two weeks, & I noticed that one of my plants has picked up a soft spot.
