I was able to get ripe Orinoco bananas (not hardy here) by digging this plant up, potting and keeping in the basement all winter to mature for the next Spring. With my short season, the only way for me to get ripe bananas. They did mature the next Spring and were sweet and delicious. Something you may have to do, too.
