Question Should I be worried?

Like I wrote you all in:
Hi!
and showed you all in:
Finally I planted my bananas!

now my new var. of banana are in good shape and healthy!.
Friends!...it is incredible how fast they grow!...especially the Dw. Brasilian...that I am starting to be convinced it is no dwarf at all! it grows each day the double size of the other dwarfs (Dw. Double Mahoi and Zan Moreno...)!!

But, since it is in the human nature to find bad points of view also when everything runs successful, now I have a big worrying.
Such a big and paranoid thinking that do not leave me sleep:

IF ALL THEM PRODUCE A BUNCH OF BANANA, WITHOUT GIVING ME THE LUCK TO SEE THEIR PUPS, HAVE I TO BUY THEM AGAIN????:confused:

I made 3 months of research s on the web for finding the more appropriate for my necessity and location, 2 months of continues excange of e-mail all around Europe, USA and ASIA for finding some good sources, 1 other month for buying and having finally them...and now they repay me in such crude way?...

Friend...please assure me that I am wrong and they will respect the right cronological procedures:
1) growing fine until november
2) sprouting lots of new little nice pups next spring
3) pushing healthy, big and numerous fruits next summer..

In alternative: there are any trick & tips for avoiding premature fruiting of them?

Relax, get some rest. It would be very unusual for an edible banana to fail to pup prior to fruiting.

Fruiting is not a crude way to repay you. They will pup, even if for some odd reason they don't do it before fruiting, the act of fruiting destroys the meristem and will remove the apical dominance from the other meristems that are on the corm and they will sprout. Have patience.

Don't worry Francesco about pups. I'm telling you that in the beginning you are going to have more pups than fruit!!
Just take a pup (when you have more than 2) and put it in a pot - for backup reasons.
