My Ae Ae is fruiting! Picture

15 years ago

Here is my plant in fruit. It is about 15 ft tall.

The plant is about 4 years old, but only 2 years in the ground.

It has 11 pups at this time, but non are large enough to divide off.

I have been waiting on these pups for almost 2 years now. They are very slow growers, so I have no idea when they will be ready to separate from the mother plant.
I want a few extra and I have a number of locals that want some. If/when I have some ready, I will post it.
But I don't want to jinx anything by counting my chicks before they are hatched!

Rocky- I think you should keep your partner, these Ae-Ae's are kind of tough!

All my other bananas fruit within about 1 year. This one is very slow, almost painful!
But it is a great feeling to have such an unusual plant and actually be able to get fruit after all this time.

What would you be willing to take for one of those? I am a very generous trader when I want something. Thanks, Eric.
