For those who have grown bananas, how long did it take the fruit to mature? My container Dwarf Cavendish bloomed in mid-July, and I hope to be able to harvest the bananas before temperatures dip below 55F. Is this likely to happen?

Well done. Yeah, they should be ready before November. I had a flower and some small fruit coming, but that one died. Was a third year stalk and had only managed to push out 2 leaves before the flower arrived this year, couldn’t support itself sun wise.

That looks amazing. My dwarf cavendish also in a container doesn’t look like it’s blooming any time soon. What do you fertilize with?
Whaaaaaat. You can actually grow bananas here? Do you bring it inside during the winter?
