Re: Question
You must remember that edible bananas are not natural, they were made by man and thus do not need to conform to any standards of thier wild counterparts. In the wild, the plants produce what they need in order to reproduce, however, you will get larger bunches with wild plants if you fertilize more, not that its an advantage but they will be larger. Edibles will do the same thing, they will make a decent sized bunch without much extra fertilizer, but they will gladly accept more and put it to use if available.
