ditto, it took us a while to get a bloom on our d brazilian as the plant was a t/c and quite small at that. it is putting out a nice amount of hands and it will get protection this winter if needed. not sure how long it takes to ripen so will just have to wait with fingers crossed. we have a manzano with fruit and that is our favorite banana since we grew it in key west and had fresh all year long, delicious.
as northern grower asked, is there any way to control when a plant will bloom. we have 5 varities with fruit now but several have only been so for a few weeks and now a raji puri is starting a bloom. we will attempt to protect them with teepees and hope.
good growing.
