I live in Puerto Rico and have a number of bananas, most of which I planted since the yard had been ravaged after the house had been vacant for some time.
My friends tell me you can't take pups until the banana sets it

s first fruit. True? or an old wives tale?
What are the most decorative fruiting species? I have one Siam ruby, but that's the only fancy pants banana I have.
Just so you know, I have manzano, ice cream, misi luki, jayuya, saba, maia maoli, huamoa, mafafo and some more that I can't remember at this moment..but all pretty much green.
Are there any caveats about planting other plants near bananas?

Ok...that's all for now.
