I have some banana plants (d.Brazilian,Raji Puri,Mona Lisa,D.orinoco,Grand Nain and one orphan...possibly a D.Cavindish and live in Vallejo...in the bay area right on the N.bay waterline.

My question is about topping them to shorten them and still having them bloom next spring or summer.

The d. Orinoco and D.Brazilian are now 7' tall (top of leaves) and should bloom soon.Would topping them to 3 feet high affect the blooming or in other words cause them to continue sending out big leaves and a flower at that short height?

Those two made it last winter with the stalk intact.
