Banana Update

In an earlier blog, I showed you pictures of the fruit trees that grow in the backyard of our apartment. The security guard, Jose, takes care of them. This as been interesting to watch since I have never seen bananas start from a bloom on a banana tree.

This is the blossom on the banana tree on April 5, 2011

This is what the blossom looked like on April 21, 2011

Notice the purple blossom falling away from the bananas. The are only about 2 inches long.

This shows a picture of the bananas progress on April 25th

The bananas are still coming out from the white part of the
bloom at the bottom of the stem that has bananas on it.
