It threw off about 6 pups over this time period; 2 of 3 remaining pups are already about at 5’ p-stem. It’s a great little banana; first bunch was smaller than expected at about 5-6 hands but I didn’t fertilize as much as I should have. I really liked the sweet/tangy flavor. The hard part is the waiting for fruit!

Excellent Two Tall Girls! Just the kind of information I need. So RP is about seven to nine months to flower and five months to fruit maturity. So I should probably target a July pup in my Zone to get a flower by the following July taking into account three months of winter dormancy for the winter carryover.
Got some pups to prune!
Thanks!
