Musa Manzano Fruiting (zone 6b)
Hey Guys!
I have been growing bananas for a few years and ever since going to Hawaii and eating an Apple Banana, I wanted to grow my own. For a few years I kept planting them in the ground when it started to warm up and dig them up around mid October and kept them in my garage (nicely trimmed) up for the Winter. So Finally I saw the signs of a possible Flower, as the Paddle leaf appeared. Then... the flag leaf shortly followed by the flower. It's August 14th and in the picture you can see how it looks now. I know I will need to move things inside at some point but was wondering if anyone knows how fast Manzano fruit ripens to harvest. I will try to keep it going indoors if possible if I can't get it to ripen enough before it's time to go inside. |

Good luck - in Honolulu my "apple" (Brazilian) plants take about 5 months I think.

Re: Musa Manzano Fruiting (zone 6b)
Thats great! Ripening them will be tough, but heck if you managed a flower maybe you can work your magic on getting them ripe!
