Bananas should be behind the Purple flower unless its a non fruiting type .. Once it fruits its done , are there any pups ? .

You should post a pic and maybe we can help

Thanks for replying. I had a lot of trouble uploading the pic, then it wouldn't allow me to edit anymore. I tried a new post, but deleted it when I got the same result. I contacted support. I see now that it works when I reply. Cross my fingers and hope this works...

Hi

Yep shes done. The fruit looks ok so all you can do now is wait and see if the bananas puff up and turn yellow . Could be a month or 6 depending on the cultivar . Do you remember how long the took to ripen last time ? Post pictures at bananas.org there is an Id thread, someone may be able to identify it, they love to help and its more active than here.

Next time she flowers don't cut any leaves that still have some green, they still are producing as long as there is some green left.

I know some people like their trees nice and neat but the leaves are the engines so be conservative when your trimming, especially once they fruit. More leaves equal better fruit.

You have pups so keep up watering and fertilizing and the next batch will be bigger.

Bananas need sun, water and compost ( fertilizer )

Good luck

Thanks for the reply, I did find that website after this one and they were helpful just like you said. I really appreciate all the info!
