From my garden
After planting the Banaba tree for almost 1.5 years there was nothing happening, only the leaves were growing but no fruit. After almost 1.5 years the bananas stalks started coming on the tree. Since then, which has been almost a year to it now, it's been constantly growing and there is abundance of bananas in my garden. I do not get it removed till it is ripe. Yesterday from one of the trees, the banana stalk fell down by itself. It's a big bunch so I will have to distribute it, because most of them are ripe and ready to eat. If I keep all of it for myself, they will go bad in a couple of days.
You can see it's just been a day and the blackness on the skin has already started. If I keep it like this for more days, they will all go soft and mushy.
As of now, this was the last one. I am hoping that another one will start growing soon as there are many new shoots coming out next to the main tree. It took time to grow but when it did, it's giving the fruit in abundance. I guess it also relates with our lives. Sometimes somethings may take a little longer to see results, but when it does it's going to be the best victory.

What a wonderful harvest! Banana plants are truly fascinating, and your experience shows how nature can reward patience. An interesting fact is that the banana tree, despite its appearance, is not a true tree, but a large herbaceous plant. Each trunk generally produces only one bunch of bananas, while new shoots allow the plant to continue bearing fruit. It's truly wonderful to see how your garden has become so productive that you can share its fruits with others. A beautiful example of nature's generosity! I've recently been thinking about buying some farmland; it's quite attractively priced in Italy.
Que bueno que la planta tardó 1.5 años en dar el primer racimo; ese patrón de espera larga y después producción constante se ve también en activos que acumulan antes de romper. Lo que mencionás del racimo que se cayó solo y ya muestra puntos negros en un día aplica igual que en mercados: cuando la fruta está lista, la ventana para distribuirla es corta. ¿Los retoños nuevos ya salen del mismo rizoma o son hijuelos separados?
1.5 años esperando para que arranque, ese es el dato que vale. En la práctica casi nadie aguanta ese tramo sin resultados, y la mayoría arranca algo y lo abandona a los 6 meses. ¿Vos las dejás madurar en la planta o las cortás antes para que no se pasen?
