My chinese banana is massive this year. The trunk is huge. It did not die back over the winter so I am expecting a bloom this season.
massive chinese banana
That last leaf looks like the flag leaf!
Won't be long now until flower.
Are those all pups surrounding her massive trunk??
Looks fantasticly huge!
wow rylaf how big is it? measure it...lol
Oh I hope so!!! Yep, those are all pups surrounding her.If I count correctly, there are 26 pups.
She is not so tall as she is wide. She takes up a lot of space.
Here is the nicest one I have seen blooming. Mine over wintered in Kentucky but does not look so hot at the moment I doubt I will see a bloom here this year.
Oh I cant wait.

WOW, Lisa! Did all that come back after winter or did it go inside?! That is amazing. I think it's time for me to make a trip to Niceville. Maybe after Mother's Day sometime?
That would be good Barbara. Actually, because we did not have much of a winter, it did not die back. I left it out and only brought it in one night when the temps dropped. A couple of leaves had to be cut off but that is it. I cant believe the darn thing has been so happy in a pot.
