Thanks everyone so far. Arkansas has turned out to be a great place for growing all different kinds of bananas due to our long, hot, and humid summers and relatively mild winters. The plants bloomed in October and produced small immature fruits before frost. Then, it froze and the fruit never had a chance to ripen. It would have been really neat to get ripe musa basjoo bananas...maybe this year?
