WHEN does this banana tree produce fruit?

I don't know. What this dealer sold me was not the species advertised. It turned out to be a dwarf banana that only gets about 3 feet tall.

I received my tree last year. It was full of figs when it arrived. My tree is planted in the ground now, and is flourishing. Figs are now sprouting on it. It seemed to take no time to acclaimate once planted. Within the week, it was sprouting new leaves and growing.

I am not sure, but it is very little output. One banana plus additional fruit and flavorings produce about 1/2 to 3/4's cup. Alot of the fruit gets stuck inside the machine and never comes out the spout.

I received my tree last summer so it was too late in the season to produce any fruit. Now 7 months later it has really grown and matured and I expect fruit this spring and summer. I also learned that, yes, it is good to plant this tree in the ground in the spring.

I am in N. Florida, so the trees didn't have a bad winter here. Both are in pots, and stayed outdoors. Both are growing and doing very well. No fruit yet, and I don't expect any for a few years.

This is my first go at growing them from seeds. My guess would be at least three years before any fruit could be picked.

in zone 9 it will be about 15 feet tall in about 6 to 7 years - it will start bearing fruit next year

It arrived at about 6" tall. I don't know how long it will take to fruit. The directions just said that, once it's grown much larger, it will fruit.

I just received mine earlier this summer, so I don't expect fruit for 18 months or so. It'll stay potted, since I live in Michigan, and spend winters indoors. I've heard that in tropical areas, with year'round or nearly so, growing seasons, papayas can fruit in 12 months or less. My previous TR Hovey papaya was eventually planted in a large 20 inch diameter pot, and grew to be about 5 ft, tall in that pot. They can live 5-10 years or more.

I bought from Hirt's - around 25", and they had fruit on. I read that Aberguina starts fruiting at 2 - 3 years. I think they are self-pollinating.

The picture attached is the fruit you can eat. I bought the plant last year and it is growing, but still too young to product fruit.

My plant just bought it this year for the first time I got it this morning there are fruits on it but they're very small yet but I can see where it's going to have a lot of them I fertilized with citrus bikes and it seems to be doing well I have not brought it in yet

In one year my tree is only a few inches taller. My understanding is it will top out about 6 or 7feet depending on size of pot. Also note, you'll need a second tree that has opposite flowering cycle to bear fruit.

Mine did not come with fruit on it. It depends on where the tree you get is in its growing cycle.

I planted mine in May. I only got a few fruit but lots of runners. I contacted the company i purchased them from hirts. They did the first year was for establishment since the plants were only one year old. They said the second year they would start producing.

Yes I have four dwarf banana trees that I am growing in the house. They are growing well so far, I will see what happens when winter arrives. I will continue to try and grow them in the house and hopefully they will make it through the winter months. I used one spike in each pot which is about 10 gallon each.

No. Mine has not faded. Is the smell pleasant? Mine is. It is a fruity smell, with a hint of banana. Does your smell otherwise?
