As you might know, our state, Louisiana has warmer temperature, hence some tropical plants grow well.

After growing for about four (4) years in the backyard, this is the first time our banana tree made bananas!
Yet, we don't know the taste. One neighbor said his tree produces more delicious, sweeter and good quality bananas, even compared to commercial ones which are sold in the grocery stores around our neighborhood.
The bananas are usually smaller but extremely good. A genuine treat.
Just make sure to break the flower off once they stop making fruit. Otherwise, they won't ripen. They will spend all their energy on the flower.

very interesting....I usually have a banana tree or two growing in my backyard, but they never make it past the winter months. Do you cut your banana trees back or just let them do their own thing during the cold months?
ReplyDeletejust do their own thing...... just surprising after 5 years.....
