Thanks for the updates Matt! I remember you from the other site when you were just getting into growing bananas lol; really impressive to see you’ve managed to keep everything going so nicely over the years especially in your climate. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, yeah I do remember you!

Sad weather we had back in early May so the Manzano lost the rest of it’s leaves. Now they’re growing back

So that leaf above was the pre flag, the flower is small which I expected. It’s about to drop any day now.

Don’t know for sure. Maybe their fruits so tiny and not good enough for eating Richard.
There is a hardy banana called “Basjoo” that looks like an edible banana plant but produces inedible seeded fruit.

Good size plants! I used to grow basjoo but not nearly as much fun as edible types.
