      I read up on this a while ago and found some guy in south London managed it but it took 10 years and moving the plant over winter so it didn’t die. Where in the country are they and how long has it been growing?

      Have the bananas gotten bigger and ripened? It is unusual, but not as rare as you think! You can get frost tolerant species of banana, and especially in the south they will grow well and you will get small fruit, but unless you are keeping it in a greenhouse or other heated area, the fruit won’t get big or ripen enough to eat and enjoy

      Also once that plant has flowered and fruited, it will die unfortunately. But bananas produce clones (you’ve already got some it sounds like) so you will never be without a plant, just they will cycle through the years through dying and new ones popping up:)

      I’m in the SE & I’ve had those on my banana tree for the last 3 years now! Seen a few similar reports in local newspapers etc (slow news days obviously!) So not that unusual these days I think. Global warming for you 😬

      Someone in the hull sub posted they also had bananas growing for the first time

      What type of banana are they?

      It would be helpful if people mentioned the type of banana when posting so others could try the same

      I’m in Somerset and wanted to try growing bananas but read that only the ‘tree’ would grow as our climate can’t produce the fruit.
      After this, I may start growing the ‘tree’.

      My dad has grown them multiple times in the south east I don’t think we have any this year though. You’re meant to cut the flower off when it appears though otherwise it kills the plant

      That’s bananas! I think I need one. It’s a very pretty plant. Does anyone know if I can just buy one at a garden centre 🤔 Obviously next spring, I don’t want to kill it over winter.

      Muss Basjoo are root hardy. I have 12 in my garden. A light wrap in winter that’s it. If they d9 die down, they will pup and give you another 4-6 plants in it’s place.

      When the mother plant produces ornamental bananas that are inedible, the mother plant will die and produce pups the following year.

      Tetrapanex is another fabulous jungle plant, great for UK gardens. Also hardy.

      If only there was some way of telling how big they are.

      Congratulations! 🙂

      Mine managed it last summer. Smallest, bitterest bananas you ever did taste. It took seven years but the plant did its best. It died soon after but its babies live on.

      I’ve got 7 banana plants which have all grown from one I planted two years ago. The biggest are easily over 3m now and are in a sunny south facing spot. Im in Norfolk.

      I forgot to wrap them this winter just gone and despite many heavy frosts, they over wintered with just their leaves bent down over the plants. I was shocked, I thought I was going to lose a few but they were totally fine.

      Won’t be risking it this year though!

      I’d genuinely recommend growing banana plants outside in the UK ☺️

      My neighbours in London grows them but they aren’t edible

      There are so many types of bananas. For the UK, try a small fruit variety.

      Once the bananas growth is underway, don’t let the flower bloom out.

      You have to cut off the flower so that the energy of the plant can focus on development of the fruit.

      The banana flower is edible. Check for recipes.
