Banana fruit

Only one hand this time.  Beautiful!

Cavendish anyone?

These are my three big Cavendish plants.  I had hoped they would produce a flower by now. Since its so late in the summer season, I now hope they wait until spring of 2014.  I'm not going to cut the pseudostems in half this time. 

Are these super dwarfs?

These are my super dwarf Cavendish bananas. At present, I can't tell any difference between these bananas and regular Cavendish.  Perhaps the leaves will start to stack shortly.

Truly Tiny, Truly Cute

The true tiny bananas I'm starting to look like the pictures that I see on the Internet.  I'm going to bring in during the winter and hopefully keep on growing.

Bananas

Beautiful!

Gros Michel

Progress!

No bananas yet, but the bell has elongated and dropped.

Flag Leaf!!!

I want expecting this one to flower.  Guess she had other plans.

Bananas

My nanners made it through winter without casualties.  I put some in the ground and will put others in ground soon.  My goal is to leave all nanners taller than four feet outside and/or in the greenhouse year round.

Spring

Everybody out!

Maria Succeeds Mother Plant

I cut down Mother Plant.  The fruit was not growing and the peduncle was slowly rotting.  I separated Maria from Mother Plant's stump.  I am going to try and generate multiple plants from Mother's corm.
