will bear fruits."

So I am trying to confirm banana growers whether it is true or not.
I read that to be talking about a sucker coming in, not resprouting from the same pseudostem. True, it could be expressed better by the author, but I am pretty sure that is what they meant, otherwise they are dead wrong.
