Default What's wrong with my Cal.Gold?
My Cal. Gold has at last flowered after 31 months from pup.
It seemed nothing wrong with the flower bud, but surprisingly the female
flowers were only 4 fingers of the first hand and he second hand seems
to be neutral flowers.
It was potted in 60Lit. container and overwintered under the eaves with
haymat protection.
I think it was well fertilized and watered.
Is it unprolific or anything wrong with it?

Well its the first flower which you an usually expect to have less naners and 60 liters is kind of tiny for a full grown banana in my opinion, even if it is a dwarf...

I agree about the size of the pot. The plant and flower bud size look about right for 15 gallon (60 liter) container.

Hello Jamie & Richard,

Thanks for your comments.
A 60Lit. container is from my　experience is enough to produce banana
fruits of so many hands and fingers.
So I don't think it to be the reason.

The picture shows the fruits bunch produced in a 60Lit. container.

Your picture shows about 30 bananas on a narrow plant -- about what I would expect from a 15 gallon (60 Lit.) pot in a good year.
