Water, water a lot. Lots of mulch and rich soil and to live next to more banana trees.

The exact time the plant takes to fruit will depend on various environmental conditions and the type of banana.

Note that most bananas are planted from sprouts from existing plants - if grown from seed they take anywhere from 3 to 6 years to produce fruit.

Apple, Silk, or Manzana: From planting until harvest is approximately 15 months.

Cuban Red: 20 months from planting until harvest.

Ice Cream or Blue Java: 18 to 24 months from planting until harvest. Lady Finger: 15 to 18 months from planting to harvest Orinoco: 15 to 18 months from planting to harvest. Cavendish: (there are a LOT of varieties - but this is the general type that produces the yellow ones you buy in the stores) - 12 to 18 months from planting until harvest
