Week 13 Banana Trees

As you can see, since our last post, the trees have grown! We are really excited to see this much growth in such little time!! But we must re-warn you, we don't expect to see banana's this year.

In addition to the trees growing, we also noticed an off shoot. We knew this was very possible as our bulbs were old enough to start producing shoots when we bought them, but it's so exciting to actually see one! Once this little guy grows big enough, we can transplant him to a new location. Then we'll have 3 yes 3 banana trees! The downside though is that this little guy will most likely not produce fruit for a few years. Bulbs need to be of a certain age/size before their trees actually produce fruit. But hey, in a few years, we'll have a yard full of banana trees - and hopefully a few other kinds of trees too!
