Default Re: How can flowering be intentionally delayed?

About 6 and half feet at the trunk. This one is the oldest in the bunch. Last year, I was confident and hoping that it would bloom in mid-spring this year but the arctic blast delayed its blooming, I was instead worried about its survival instead of the blooming. And it did survive but the blooom was postponed. Now all I have to do is to find ways to preserve the fruits and some leaves the entire winter. It can be done, as some of my bananas in the lower canopy are able to preserve their leaves intact the entire "normal" winter.
