Re: Arizona Banana growers unite!
My Raja Puri has a flower head coming out. The wind is really shredding the leaves. They like the cool weather now. Hope the others start flowering soon.
Most are more than a foot in diameter.

Direction of flower head
I have three banana plants shooting their flower heads now. Sweetheart, Dwarf Brazilian and Dwarf Namwah. Their flowers are all hanging to the SSW direction. Is that the norm?
