Thanks for the quick reply. So when it's done with the fruit cut it down like out of the ground?? Then keep the 3 bigges and should I let those get babies or then does that mean every time a pup pops up cut it out? or only do major trimming after it flowers? I'm sorry I am such a newbie. I also have no idea what kind of plant I have but from my research today on the net I think its a Musa Iholene ??? I uploaded some pictures to the gallery but I have no idea if I did it right or not. They show the bananas and the big huge flower. I just walked out a couple days ago and saw it. Pretty neat! Thanks again for the reply and help...I really need it.
