Telling you old is still gold. Giving you one more time to harvest

To clarify, this recent flowering banana plant isn't the same one that fruited earlier. That was chopped down long ago, after harvesting.

Banana plant must be removed after harvesting, becos it only flowers/fruited once.

Once it's removed, the next 'standby' sucker at its base will take over with rapid growth.

I only know this plant is call tieshu.

Very difficult to flower.

Plant for at least 6-7 yrs already. Never flower before.

Maybe no direct sunlight.

If flower, toto must buy big big already.
