It is very possible for a banana plant to fruit in a pot, I think the reason why yours didn’t fruit in the huge pot is because the pups and especially the big one that was growing next to it were taking too much energy away from the mother plant, you must remove some of the pups so that the mother plant can take most of the energy and eventually produce fruit

Thank you so much I was hoping that you showed us what to do for winter time I know it's getting cold and the leaves are starting to turn different colors on the banana plant definitely reaching freezing temperatures I wasn't sure if I was supposed to cut the entire leaf

We can also cut the old tree into pieces and place it around the new banana plant to give the new plants vitamin and minerals:

Wow what an informative video, thanks! I have always been fascinated with banana plants (There is something about the leaves I like a lot). When I lived in India, I had visited my uncle's farm which had huge banana trees and remember seeing the purple flowers and bananas.
I would love to grow this plant, but unfortunately don't have enough space in the ground. I think I will just have to stick to growing vegetables in pots

Excellent production of your video my friend!

[brooklyn]

This was super informative thank you!!! Do you have any recipes that you can used the core of the banana stem in?? So interesting

[jamestropicals]

Can’t grow bananas in the ground here, only in pots. Our winters would easily kill banana plants since it gets too cold here but they still do very well in their pots and are getting big

[michaelbeggs]

What a great banana growing video. I am retired in the Philippines and I prefer the taste of the variety of bananas called Lakatan better than the cavendish back in America. I have been wondering about growing some and I think I will give it a try.

[BeautifulEarthJa]

wow. we cook in banana leaf in jamaica (a few dishes of old) but I never heard of the flowers and core being edible!

[siddharth]

That was very informative, good content, is there anyway we can identify the right time to cut the banana bud and the fruit from the tree?

[cwsspot]

Hey can you go further into cooking the flowers and core? Maybe a dedicated video just for that?
