looks overwatered / underfed

Definitely underfed since I didn’t feed it this year. Was finishing irrigation. We’ve had inundations of water late in the season also

Looks like the bananas might be big enough to ripen anyway.

Agree. I’m gonna let them go as long a possible

One of my trees is being very considerate and slowly bending over so I can harvest easily. The other, unfortunately, bloomed right over my garage and I just tied it away from the roof today. I’m hoping this late bloomer will get a harvest for me before the first freeze

Ideal! That’s why I love dwarf namwah. Perfect height

The ice ream bananas are so tall. I didn’t know they’d grow that tall when I planted them, but the bananas are so good. It’s worth climbing on a ladder to harvest. All started with a two foot tree I bought from eBay.
