Here is the fruit picked about 6 weeks later. Only the first bunch set any fruit. I don't know if that was due to the colder weather but the bees were all over the flowers right up until the end. With upper 20's forecasted this morning I decided to cut off the fruit and see what happens. As you can see, each fruit is only about 4" long, and the edges are very pronounced, like many plaintains I have had the pleasure of eating. They are also rather hard and very green.
