Hello, my question seems simple, but i have found it is almost an impossible question? Which banana plant grows in south Alabama and produces edible fruit. There are many banana plants around my area, but none seem to ever produce fruite. Help me get started please. Thanks

The majority bananas in LA that I've seen in Fairhope, Point Clear, wherever, etc...are musa orinoco. They will all eventually fruit if left alone. And the fruit is good. Lots of sun, some fert and watering every 2-4 days with some dry spells here and there (makes them grow a bit faster in spurts because of stress) and usually, due to how cold it can get, it takes 2 summers to get fruit.
Just have patience. |
