| Hi Elfi Yes your Bananas should bear fruit, when I grew them in Townsville it took about 18monthts from a sucker that I planted (Lady Finger) to maturity it takes anything from just over three months to five months for the bunch of bananas to ripen the latter being because it was ripening over the winter months. They love water and fertilizer and it is best to have only one sucker growing at the base of the big plant, so that it takes the place of that plant after producing when you cut it down, then suckers will grow again so you will have to cut them off but always leave the biggest one there so it will grow into the next fruiting one. If you ever want to know what grows in Qld or how to grow it get on to the DPI Site at www.dpi.qld.au. The link below will give you some info about banana problems, not that you would have any I didnt but things do happen. MM. |
