WOW!! very nice, I bet it's a South Alabama Ice Cream....aka Namwah.

I gotta get a green house.

Wohoooo!!! Are u going to harvest soon? What's the game plan?

Re: check out this huge bloom!
 

Wow, fruit all the way in zone 5! That's incredible! Great job! :)

Re: check out this huge bloom!
 

we've been letting them ripen on the bunch and cutting them when they're nearly yellow. I took 25 of them to the farmers market and sold them last weekend, and took some cut up to a master gardeners meeting the other night. They taste different and the plant looks different from my ice cream, which I guess they are saying since it came from agristarts 6 yrs ago is probably a namwah too. I think this one is a ladyfinger or something different than namwah unless there are different types of namwah. it has topped out around 9 feet, and the "ice cream" goes to around 10 with a different shaped banana.

Re: check out this huge bloom!
 

guess what? that darned banana mat is cracking the pot. It has a big split in the side of that huge 38" across by 30" pot now.

Can u plant it in the ground in your greenhouse? Maybe make a big raised bed/box or something?
