Thanks for the reply! What determines how many male and how many female flowers the plant will have? It looks like all the flowers that fell off are male. I see pictures of bunches of bananas on the forum that look to be 50 to 60 pounds and then I look at my Brazilian bunch and it won't feed my family. Why? I have many varieties but only the Brazilian is flowering now.
Thanks,
Andrew
