Hello and help with my bananas in Florida
Hello, I am new to this group, thank you for having me. I am located in Vero Beach, FL. Ibought this house almost 2 years ago and there were overgrown and didn't know anything about them, so we cut them down. They came back and I started taking care of them. I was wondering if you could help me identify what type they are and if I should be expecting flowers soon. I separated pups and planted them elsewhere. I keep getting new pups.
Do I need to do anything for the upcoming cooler months? |

Re: Hello and help with my bananas in Florida
Let them freeze, clean the dead off in march or April and then wait for fruit. When the fruit gets heavy, prop it up with something so the plant doesn't break.

 Post some photos if you can. A good chance in your area the original plant was purchased(in the last 5 years) at a big box store as an accent plant in the landscape. Last edited by cincinnana : 09-30-2018 at 07:28 PM. |

Re: Hello and help with my bananas in Florida
It's very unlikely they will freeze anytime soon in Vero Beach. Welcome to the banana nut club.
I hope, for your sake, they aren't Orinoco... Not the tastiest banana out here...
