Default Re: Is Fruiting Determined By Season Or Maturity?

a related but slightly different question:

If bananas fruiting is based on maturity, as Richard and many others have said previously... often between 30-40 leaves, does cutting off the pstem and replanting the corm change anything?

Say a particular nana was going to flower at 30 leaves and it was cut down at 20. When the corm regrows, will it flower at 10 leaves?
Basically the same question: if it usually flowers at 8 feet of pstem height and was cut down at 6 feet height, will it want to flower after a foot of new growth?

just curious, as I planted a couple of big corms recently.
