Here is my pride & joy...but I dont know what kind of banana it is....Is it good eats? When do I harvest? I've never seen banana trees produce! We were given these trees by a friend, I didn't think they would live thru the last bad freeze, but they kept sending out new shoots....and now....bananas!!!!
Each day a new layer opens from the giant pod, and reveils a new bunch of bananas...there are 4 now, and it looks likes it wants to keep going.....should I give it something special? I was thinking about chopping up old banana skins and putting in the soil...sounds crazy I know, I'm just so excited, I don't want to screw this up...thanks in advance I'm sure someone out there knows what to do....
