So bloom happened just over a week ago, flowers at the ends are dying already. Normal part of process? or is my first bannana harvest in jeopardy?

Will do in the morning when there is better light. The bananas themselves are still nice and green with no color change, but flowers are just wilting off. I know it is normal with some fruits, but not sure on the time frame, seems a bit fast?

Thanks Crazy, figured flowers dying off is normal, just the timeframe that worried me. Seems a bit faster than the other fruits I am growing. But than again bananas are like super freak growers compared to everything else I grow too LOL

The flowers fade pretty quickly -- not unlike cucumbers and melons, in my experience.
