Losing Fruit
 This the 40+ yr old mat that came with our house. Following everyone's advice they look great and gave us a bloom, then 3 hands of fruit grew and 2 have fallen off leaving one hand. Any one know what is happening? I want to learn how to grow fruit. They are (?) super hardy "nanners" that shield the house from our blazing S sun.

Re: Losing Fruit
By taking a closer look at the flower in your gallery photos, these look like plantains. Just my 2 cents.

Re: Losing Fruit
I'll take a shot of the remaining fruit and see what you think.
Since I want to grow fruit these may just be for shade! Shoot, now I really have to start collecting..............

Re: Losing Fruit
The remaining hand has grn fruit about 5" long. A neighbor said that awhile back they bore fruit that was small, yellow and didn't taste good.

Re: Losing Fruit
I would seperate one out, plant it in another protected location and keep it to a mother and 2 pups - cull out everything else - and see how well the fruit produces then. Your mat may be too large to get large tasty fruit - too much energy going to the pups...
Be well, Mike Quote:
