Default Re: Can fruit mature without leaves on the P-stem?

I'm testing this theory with my 'Raja Puri'. Lost all the leaves to frost, then the darn thing produced its bud and has been setting fruit all throughout our mild winter. We had only a couple nights of frost (just enough for me to lose all my banana leaves) and the rest of the winter has been way above normal with no more frosts. We'll see how it does.
