Joe Real gave me a full grown Cal Gold in June because he wanted to plant something else in its spot (and because he's a really nice guy!). We dug it up and I hauled it home after wrapping the leaves but they still got beat up. Anyways, it bloomed 2 weeks later but the bunch grew very slowly due to minimal leaves remaining. The bananas still have strong ridges on them and, even though we have had seveal days of frost, there was still green on it so I was hoping for them to become more mature. The chances for that ended last night or this morning. I noticed a bit ago that it snapped in half. And that's with there being minimal wind resistance!
