I was just talking to Gabe about a very similar thing. I got my first Raja Puri to bloom but only produced about 4 hands of nice fruit, then the smaller males started. And like Gabe said: Although I live in a fairly warm climate, bananas are tropical plants by nature and need the year round warm weather to be working at their greatest potential. We get freeze's here in Alabama and it really slows them down alot.
But, I do this for fun and each year I learn more things and this year is the first time I got a Raja to fruit, so it's still alot of fun
