Default Re: Bloom is dropping fingers!

It looks perfectly normal in terms of flowers, but if you only have 18-20 fingers it is definitely not up to its potential. Did you fertilize regularly since it was young or has it been growing on its own? Bananas will often appear to grow fine on their own without extra water or fertilizer, but the bunches are dramatically reduced.
