Last May we harvested a very nice stalk of bananas and now the pup from that plant is blooming. I may harvest two crops in one year. March and April were on the cool side and the Ae Ae grew slowly. When the hot weather and rain started the Ae Ae started to grow faster then I have ever seen. The Potassium Nitrate that I used made the leaves have a higher % of green and in tern made the plant more robust. Now I'm not sure which was the factor that made the bananas grow so very fast.
