understand panama as I have experienced the falling off of several of the fruits already, the one in the pic is bay far the largest that has been on the tree to date and I suspect it too will come off soon. good tip about considering to remove the fruit before it gets to largs and damages the small young plant. thanks.
Bananas take about 14 months to have a good bunch, which variety is it, SEAT? Also, remember to place a plastic bag over it to protect it from insects[/quote]
i don't have a clue what variety it is. the tree does seem to be somewhat small though. I did not realize that a plastic bag should be put over the flowers so the insects can not get to them but I now realize that that is the case because I lost all the flowers to insects about 3 weeks ago. I'll know better next time. thanks for the tip.
