ShadyGreenThumb said:I just stare and stare at my Banana 'Ice Cream' willing it to flower and fruit. Is there an age of the plant, diameter of the trunk, or height of the tree when this usually happens? Mine is approx 3- years old and never really allowed to go completely dormant.

It has mostly to do with age, and it depends on the variety. Is it potted? I'd think it would have to be if you are in Kingwood and it's never gone dormant - it would have been hit by a freeze or two (or three) otherwise sometime during the last three years. I'm not sure on the 'Ice Cream' variety in regards to age of blooming, tho. It certainly does look healthy!
