The reason for the small amount of fingers, is due to being in a container, you will never get much from most varieties in a container, compared to planting them the ground. the result will always be better planting in the ground, even if you use a 60+ gal container, which is insane, but a few members have done it. How much you fertilize per month per lbs of fert? what zone are you in?

In a 40 gal container on my CG's I have received 15-20 small naners but not anymore. In the ground I avg 40-60 nice size fingers, but if your in an area where you have to pull them up in the winter, I can understand why you use a container.

Nice plant though and congrats on the flower and your future naners!
