Re: Very early frost in Texas on Tuesday, have a plan...
[quote=monicacalhoun;234774]I live in Texas near Dallas, we had our first 30 degree day last week and last The leaves are still very green and have not begun to change color. The plan is to keep it pruned to about 10 feet tall so that it will be more of a all of our apple and pear trees about every other year in the fall after first frost.

Not sure what to think about you. So do you live in Texas or Florida, because this is what you have posted under the thread title " Florida Bananas":

Re: Florida Bananas
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am new to growing bananas here in Florida and have some basic questions:
1. I planted about 9 months ago and 6 weeks ago the main shoot bloosomed and I now have some very green fruit growing. How long does it take before the fruit should be harvested (keep in mind it is now November in Florida)?
2. I have been told that the shoot that has borne fruit will die and need to be cutoff when the fruit is harvested. Is that true? It will only bear fruit once?
3. If the answer to number 2 above is yes, what about the other, smaller shoots that have sprung up around the main shoot? Will they need to be cutoff with the main shoot after its fruit is harvested or will they each bear fruit, given time?
4. We will have some cold weather (cold for Florida at least) in two months or so. Will the plants, and any fruit they are bearing, survive a freeze?
Thanks in advance
