Default Re: Unknown banana

Now remember this tree was overwintered bareroot and the 5 leaves it has are the only leaves to show up this year before the flower. So I'm sure it doesn't look great but I'm still amazed to see this happen.

I've seen on this site the diagram of a banana tree. My question is will each bract reveal more bananas? The diagram show the male flower as half the bracts unopen. Does that mean they don't open and that is the male flower or is the male flower inside those bracts and also more bananas.

Can you tell I'm very new to all this?
