I'm not in California, I'm in SW Alabama. Left my GM in the ground over this past winter. Lost the Pstem, but have an abundance of pups.
Yesterday I harvested my first ever bananas. From my mystery plant. During the late fall of 2012 I noticed a bulge at the top of the tree and suspecter a bloom. I procted the bloom by wrapping it in an old blanket and during late February the bloom emerged and now in late August I harvested about 50 bananas. Left it on the tree until it dropped over then cut the bunch. It is now on my kitchen island while it ripens. There were several that had ripened before I cut it.
