BTW, I have a dwarf bananna in a large southern glassed hallway at the college. No hint of a fruit branch yet. It’s near 6 feet or so. A different dwarf variety of the head of the art dept is about the same height and no fruit branch either. Any suggestions?

They are putting off shoots as is common, I guess.

My orange and tangerine dwarf plants have yet to flower after two years.

The gardenia has done well outdoors this summer.

And I have a vine similar to stephanotis but not that . . . very fragrant, though.

And a potted peppermint that I enjoy. Interesting flowers.

Banana problem is probably lack of humidity. That can be addressed through some sort of automatic misting contraption such as you see in the arboretums and such.
