Overall plant looks good. I put in some nice new soil when I replanted it and it has grown well since I replanted it after winter in the same spot. I have feeding it Richards banana fuel and some normal miracle grow. But I am guessing I might have missed some nutrients especially for fruit setting size wise...
Appreciate any insight since it is a lot of work to get a banana in Texas to flower and bear fruit.
Still love my Sweetheart ;-) since it is probably one of my nicer looking bananas due to the huge leaves that are quite resistant to wind
It is getting sun from mid morning to late afternoon, some shade before and beyond that.
