Hi, Iam from Chihuahua, Mexico a state located south of the border of Texas, I have 4 banana plants all are related between each other, the biggest ones who measure about 5.5 feet were given to me as a gift in a paint bucket, I transplanted them directly to the soil and they are giving about 4 new leafs each month, the other small one I dug it out of an abandoned garden, and the last one, the tiny one, was born from one of the bigger ones, Iam posting pictures, my questions are, for you guys who are experts, what species of banana are my plants??, will they ever give fruit??, at the bottom of the big one there are two small things kind of leads, growing, in reddish color, what are they??, and must I remove them??, I know are plenty questions but I hope someone can answer me and get me out of the doubts I have, other than that, all my plants are growing exponentially, and without pests, so I supose they are happy !!! here are the pictures:

I didn't respond sooner because I don't know all the answers to your questions.
I can't tell you what species or cultivar you have. Almost all bananas fruit, it seems as if I only recall reading about one or two that didn't and I have my doubts regarding that. The last three pictures all appear to be pups/suckers. When you stated this "and the last one, the tiny one, was born from one of the bigger ones" I thought you might have known that you have more growing around the base. They should all turn into more banana trees for you to remove in the future. I usually remove sucker/pups at around 2 or more feet, but some here have better success at 3 ft and up. |
