Default My California Gold is about to flower.

It took almost 31 months before it starts to flower. I think it is a bit long
as in my place other edible bananas take about 24 months or so.
This might be related with the lowest temperature in the winter time as it
drops often under minus 3C or so, and this banana might have received
strong stress or something.

Anyway my Cal. Gold is about to flower now.





The highest point of the pstem(bending point) is about 130cm above the
root, and this banana is very compact and is convenient for handling when
potted in container, and will be safe for strong winds.

Thus I think this is one of the most recommendable edible banana speecies,
although I do not know how the fruits taste and if this is prolific or not.
Any comments on these points are welcome.
