Re: What are my chances of growing an edible banana?
That's the correct information. Thanks for posting it.
Again what you tell the OP will happen is not proven other than with VC. You suggest buying dwarf cavendish or truly tiny TC plants and they will fruit before first frost. All the other varieties other than VC did NOT produce ripe or even filled fruit.
My VC sucker method still flowers and is harvested well before frost the same as the TCs in the test. (Suckers they used did also) and my method keep the greenhouse above 32F vs 60F. Also free pups vs buying new TC each year.
I have early pups that come up every year. February pups I would say 99% of them fruit before first frost. The bunch gets killed by the first frost but they flower just like in the study. You will find a flower is a long ways away from a ripe bunch.
My method costs very little vs the university budget method and gets the same results.
Good luck and keep us updated with your progress.
