A banana tree was easily number one on my list of most wanted plants. I have always really loved them, I think they are just so beautiful, such lovely sweeping leaves and their big fat juicy trunks. They remind me so much of home, I feel quite nostalgic when I see one. Anyway, you can't buy them in Queensland, or you can I think, but you need to have a licence. So when we bought this house, and I saw banana plants in the backyard... well, my excitement was hard to contain.
Since then I have replanted them around the yard, and am yet to have any actual bananas from them. I am kind of beginning to despair, everyone seems to have different opinions as to when they fruit. I've read that they fruit after 9 months, but some of mine are over a year old now. My neighbour has told me they waited for 3 YEARS for theirs to fruit, but surely not.
Come on bananas.
