Default Re: Velutina fruit never got ripe?

Gabe, I repotted the plant in a bigger pot after I got it. Part compost and part potting soil. I water my nanners several times a day. My thing was some have spilt but the fruit was still so hard and also kinda black in some places like sap. SO I got worried they would rot. Guess I should have waited maybe? Oh well I have tons of plants so next year I will have plenty more nanners and they will grow in the ground instead of pots. We just got a house and move this friday to Wilmington NC and I was told its to late in the year to plant anything in the ground. Which I still never really understood that since if the plant is hardy why would it need time to adjust. Thing is the plant and roots stay very warm in the pots compared to being in the ground no matter how hot it is. Ground breathes were the pot can't release the heat.

Thanks
