This is the regular tissue-culture variety - a lab-propagated planting material that gives a true-to-type, disease-screened start. It is a perennial plant: suckers arise from lateral buds on the rhizome and develop into new fruit-bearing stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 4 hours of direct sunlight daily; avoid full shade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best planted direct in soil rather than a permanent container, though it can be container-grown initially.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClimate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropical and subtropical regions, 15°C-35°C, with 75-85% relative humidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Spacing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep 1-2 main stems per clump and remove extra suckers from the corm every 5-6 weeks so the main plant gets more strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Check the top 2 inches of soil for dryness before watering; water more frequently in hot, windy weather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic fertilizer once every 10 months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove excess suckers regularly; cover the fruit bunch once it fully opens to protect it from cold, sunscald and pests; remove the male bud after the female phase completes so energy goes into fruit development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFruiting \u0026amp; Harvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowering typically occurs every 8-10 months (sometimes 12-13); fruiting follows roughly 10-12 months after planting, reaching up to about 5 m height if planted in the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree.
