Ive been growing bananas for three years. I don't know what they are. Could you please tell me what they are and if they'll bloom, and if you know how long it will take for them to bloom.


I know the little one in the front is an ice cream banana, please help identify the other ones.

That yellow pseudostem rings of Musa balbisiana, but it could be a few different types. Where the leaf meet the petiole looks recurved, so it could be balbisiana. Where did you get it?

A friend gave them to me.
If it ends up to be a balbisiana
I will send you a pup in the fall.
That's if you want one, you just
have to pay for shipping.
And there is another catch, you
have to remind me .I am so busy I
forget things.and thank you for your
help. Paula

Paula, not quite sure, but it looks like you might be getting a flag leaf on the center one right now. If that's the case, it should bloom in a matter of days! It is a gorgeous banana and I would like to get in line for a pup, too. Let me know if she blooms by posting some pic's.
Good luck!!!

Paula, It's very hard to tell without a flower. Yes it will bloom, they all do. In your area it usually does on it's third year. 6 months of grow time for three years = 18 months total grow time(Average bloom time). Once it flowers it should be easy to identify. Good luck.

I don't see any sign of a flag leaf anywhere. I'd say you'll have to wait for bloom and then it'll be easier to help ID.

Hi Paula, I don't have any answers for you, myself being a greenie at growing banans but I just wanted to say your trees are lovely! I can only hope mine looks that good next seaon.

Since y'all are trying to figure out what variety of tree Paula might have, I have a question for ya.

I have a musa basjoo (the tag says) and from looking at some of the pictures I have seen of this tree they look all green. Two of my pups have reddish splotches/patterns on their leaves. Is this the characteristic for young basjoos. Is this normal? or did I get duped and buy another variety that may not survive my winter? Anyone out there know? Thanx for any info on this.

Guess I need new glasses, now I can see that it was just an unfurled lobe of the new leaf. Hope it blooms soon.
Best of luck.
