I noticed about two weeks ago that my Dwarf Cavendish was about flower just before I left for vacation. When I got back the bud had dropped over and it already had four hands of fruit. They look to be dong well but I know it's going to get too cold before long for them to ever be able to fully develop. It's sort of a bummer because my Orinoco flowered very late and now the DC, so no home-grown bananas for me this year.

I was really hoping for fruit out of my Ice Cream, Raja Puri, California Gold, and Hua Moa this year as well but it was far too dry and I guess I didn't pump enough water to them. Oh well, there's always next year. Good luck to all of you in colder zones in getting your bananas through the winter.
