The center of the stalks when I cut one down during the winter is visably different.
I'm guessing the inflo shoot (dont know what else to call it) is around 1" to 2" in diameter and reminds me of a sugarcane stalk in the center surrounded by the old leaves.
When I get home tonight I'll take a picture of the nanner I trimmed way back.
I moved everything around earlier this year so non of the mature nanners pushed an inflo this year so I cant show you what I'm talking about and how it looks compared to a stalk that hasnt pushed an inflo.
This would be so much easier with pictures. ;-)
There's another guy that lives on the south side of I-10 near Country Club that has them lining the front of his house.
I've got a ice cream banana thats getting to be a descent size and I'm hoping it might push a flower this year.
Did some serious growing this year with the backflushed water from my pond filter.
Fish poo on plants is a wonderful thing.
