Can a water sucker produce a sword?
 

I recently decided to plant some banana plants in my backyard, so I got a namwa, blue java and brazilian plant from GoingBananas in FL. However, before buying those 3 a friend of mine gave me a banana plant which I call mistery banana because neither him nor I know what it is.

This plant looks fine to me but slower to grow compare to the others. The more I read and learn about bananas the more I believe it is a water sucker.

So here is my question:

Can a water sucker produce a sword? if so, would it be a good idea to remove it once the sword comes out?

Thank you.

Yes!.....It's possible that a water sucker Nana plant grows as normal as any other Nana plant and produce sword pups/suckers!....And even flower, blooms!....Just give her the necessary balance nutrients, irrigation, etc. and she will reward you back with a nice size pups/suckers and a Nana bunch when fruiting!....

It's up to you, but I personally leave at least one pup in each Nana mat for the next generation crop/cycle!....Means next fruiting Nana plant!....

Congrats!....Nice acquisitions!....You can't go wrong buying from Don and Katie (Going Bananas)....Very kind and special people!.....A trusted source!...


Good luck!.....

Thank you for your help! Yes, they are great and very helpful. I initially went there (Going Bananas) to get fertilizer and then fell in love with every banana i tasted while there. 3 visits later I ended up with 3 different plants.
