Shawntel,

Double Mahoi has not been a very fast grower for me so I would expect it might take a couple of seasons to get it to bloom. My first one died so I am starting over. Also, I've read that the fruit quality is not great. Dwarf Brazilian is another that you should consider trying. The taller version of this variety is sold as the apple banana in Hawaii and mine bloomed a couple of months ago at about 6' high (pseudostem height, leaves are a 3-4 higher). Looks like you figured out your profile though it says you're in zone 7 while your message said you are in zone 6. You've got your work cut out for you to keep things warm!
