3rd Time In Fruit

Why you should over winter your Musa. May 5th 2021

Because this happens. May 5th 2021

3rd year in a row for this clump. May 5th 2021

We were recently asked if you need to buy a new banana plant after they flower and fruit, and the answer is no! Bananas grow as clumps, and as the current shoot grows tall, and into flower, side shoots come up ready to be the next to bear fruit. The banana in this photo is now coming into flower for the 3rd time!

(Not for sale, stock plant).
