~ It was a gift from my wife in the form a 4" start from
Logee's in June 2013. If you want its entire history visit my
Banana Blog
~ No it has never fruited yet, but perhaps this summer?? I look forward to when it warms up and I roll it back outside
and it can get some good outside light to see its growth.
~ It has five Pups though and I have a waiting list for those that would like a puppy. I am not an expert but I really think one of them
(as seen in picture) would have a large enough corm to survive separation from Mom. Assisting the birthing of my first pup will be a big and scary experience for Dad.
~ I have thought about making a hoop greenhouse to start a plant pup outside and then mulching it through the days it freezes during the winter. We only get a few freezing weeks and usually only lasts a few days at a time, perhaps a week at a time. It will definitely go into hibernation but it will have a good chance at survival in our area if I exercise proper care.
This would be a new growing experience for me. This will be researched further in another thread when the time comes.
