My Mysore banana plant will have all the male flowers (at end of banana stalk) removed to prevent them from taking energy from the developing bananas. Photo taking July 24, 2010.

I love these, although I would be tempted to keep a male flower going!

Have you ever cooked the flower? I see them for sale all the time at the Asian markets. A delicacy I understand.

No, I have never cooked the male flowers. Yes, I do understand it's a delicacy in Asia and very expensive.
This banana grows well in the Bay Area. It produces such sweet and delicious bananas with fertilizer and water.
