Question on the fruiting process
My third banana year. I live in North central Florida, which does freeze, so I've had blossoms and fruit before that didn't make it before freeze.
This year, however, one of my ice cream banana plants put out a flag and subsequent fruit in late April.
Now, however, four months later, the fruit doesn't seem to me like its grown at all. They look like stubby green cigars, but not getting any larger or turning any other color.
Is that normal?? I mean, I had heard it takes four months, so I figured I'd have plenty of time before freezing weather, but I did rather expect larger fruit by this time.
Am I doomed yet again??
