Default Re: Musa basjoo growth after 2 seasons

I can not believe it.. I have bananas in NJ growing in the middle of October.. Who would have thought..

Anyone with an idea of how long from this point till they are ready for picking?

Anyone have an idea of how to strech the season out a little to give them time to grow?

I was thinking of putting a heavy plastic bag over them at night to hold in some heat?

Also, Steve I have never put plastic against the banana as I thought it would create moisture and just turn the stem in to mush.. I have about 6" to 8" of dry mulch between the stem and the bubble wrap..
