The amazing hardy banana, Musa velutina is full of flowers and fruit in the garden. Here are photos I just took of it in both bud and in full fruit. There are so many fruit, you’ll see pink from several hundred feet away…very attractive. The bananas are full of small seeds, so we don’t recommend eating these unless you are extremely hungry.
Love them !
Hi- If I order and plant these this year, how long might it take to see actual fruit?
Thanks!

So much depends on growing conditions. In a site with rich compost and plenty of moisture, easily 1-2 years. Less ideal sites could add another 1-2 years to fruit production.
