The inflorescences produce both male and female flowers but I think the male flowers drop before the female. With more plants that you now have, you're chances of pollination have increased if another plant is flowering at the same time. I believe that you can set fruit without pollination, but that they'll remain undeveloped. Someone else should be able to explain that better.

Yes, definitely to Gran Nain... in about 3 years. It would have to be dug up because they won't survive the winters here. None of my DC have fruited yet.

Oops, sorry! Female flowers then the male.

Thank you Moonie for responding.

I am looking foward to whatever happens.
As I said, i have no idea what my first Banana plant is but it has really been fun to grow. The only let down is when it finally flowered and set fruit it had only been out from under the house for just a few weeks so it looks rough. It would have been nice for it to have flowered last summer when it was beautiful.

Grain Nain, Dwarf Cavendish and the Zebrina Rojo will recieve the same treatment and hopefully in time I'll be rewarded with some bananas.

Thanks
Tim
