Hey Bo ---- Hope the DN give usable fruit before cold snaps. You could try a professional trick to get harvestable fruit earlier - like Nick does. As soon as the 5th hand emerges (bract peels back a bit) do a bunch prune. Cut the flower stalk off right under the 5th hand. Nick gets bigger fingers and harvests earlier on his Dwarf Super Plantains that way. I have done it too - it works.

So the decision is ---- some fruit, or no fruit!

BTW did your Pisang Klotek grow for you or did Charles keep it himself? lol Dan
