Almost 3 years later (from when I got it)......

The original Ice Cream 'Blue Java' had 1 pup in the late summer of 2010 and then died in the winter of 2011. Now that one pup that survived is going to be turning 2.5 years old here soon and guess what?

The 2.5 year old pup (not a pup anymore) is flowering!!!

Its bitter sweet though because I won’t get to see it fully mature and develop the bananas because of my climate. When it starts flowering male flowers should I just cut it off? Maybe even cut off 2/3 of the bananas to to help speed it up?

EDIT: Theres going to be more on this thread so that way I dont bring up an old contest thread:
Ice Cream ‘Blue java’ flag leaf... In zone 7b!!!!
