When the male plant is left to grow to maturity, the pollen sacks open up to show what appear to look like the banana flowers I think you are referring to.... Once the pollen sacks/pods open, the pollen starts to fly....


What is the purpose of these male parts? Much like other pollen building flowers, these pods open up for insects to come and land, pick up pollen, and carry it to the female flower....in-case the wind doesn't....

before the plant drops pollen, do these appear? I've never waited long enough to find out nor would I....


I think you get the jist of my question, I would really appreciate it if someone could clear this up for me... Hope that helped....

all the best, mrmarijuanaman
