BANANA SURPRISE!

 When we came to thr New Year on the island, we got a big surprise at our house:  our biggest banana tree is starting to bloom!


This tree is a raja puri banana from India and it produces fruit that is very sweet and edible.  The stem that is in bloom is nineteen months old.  



Whether we get bananas will totally depend on the temperature over the coming couple of months.  If we can avoid a hard freeze, we should get bananas.  If it freezes we are back to th start over point.  Whatever happens this is a great experiment and lots of fun.
