Very good information about the reason for the funnel cut. I’ve only ever seen it done on one other video. I’m going to practice this on my bananas as well. I’m in Florida, I’m not sure if we have the bug or beetle, but I don’t want to take any chances.
Hey Jacob thanks for your comment. I was wondering where in US people would grow bananas other than in Hawaii! I’ve been working here for many years and never really seen people working with bananas this way and the patches get really nasty and weak. Cut as low as possible, keep thinning them and you got it! Subscribe if you can to help me more good content is coming!
@@AmaralTreeCareAgroforestry yessir! Florida is the next best place to grow bananas besides Hawaii in the US. Where did you learn to care for and grow bananas? It’s obvious you have some expertise on this subject. I’ve only been growing them a year but have been successful in doing so. I stick to one mother plant and 2-3 sword suckers. I actually take out the water suckers and grow them in pots. They will grow to full maturity and fruit unlike what many others say. They just take longer to do so compared to sword suckers. What do you think of this? Thank you for the tips and tricks! I just subscribed.
@@AmaralTreeCareAgroforestry I’m very happy to subscribe and learn more! I’ve only began growing bananas now for a year. But in that year, I’ve gone banana crazy. I still have lots to learn but I never grow tired of it. I usually stick to having one mother plant and 2-3 sword suckers on one banana mat. That seems to be working well; even though I probably could get away with bigger clumps. I actually pot the water suckers up. They will eventually fully mature and produce fruit identical to a sword sucker, but much slower. I’ve heard too many people claim that water suckers don’t do anything, but they really do. What do you think about that? I’m growing Dwarf Namwah, Raja Puri, Blue Java, Gran Nain, Dwarf Cavendish, Truly Tiny Cavendish and SH 3640. Hopefully going to be getting a Mysore and a Pisang Ceylon this year.
Hey @jacobwhite953 I’ve been learning for around 10 years since young times in Brazil traveling and working in permacultural retreats and agroforestry farms. I’m trying to expand my career and serve more people with this many years of knowledge and experience about permaculture and healthy lifestyle integrated in nature. My main mentor was and still is Ernst Goestch and his students in Brazil. You just gave me ideas to make a video about it! Thanks again! Let’s keep sharing our experiences
Nice! If you like to prevent the banana fruits from breaking, you could grab the stem where the banana heart is growing to hold & support the whole bunch before it touches the ground. I once let the trunk fall freely & had many broken pieces. It's fun!
I do use a very old and rusty saw for bananas here in Thailand. Great video as they are super food for any other plants. So then I also changed all my tall bananas to draft bananas. So much easier to handle and no seeds in a fruits. Real like Chikitas.
Thanks for sharing! Thailand wow what a dream! So you kind eliminate the tall patch? I just recorded a video about elimination to substitute for other trees… Chikitas is the name of the kind of bananas? I wish I could try all kinds there’s so many! Blessings from Hawaii stay healthy!
Mahalo nui! I have a v crowded banana patch and didn't know how to go about opening it up for air and light and for the keiki. Thank you for slowly explaining everything esp machete safety. I hope I can use it so handily as you did! I will try...and not get hurt ;) thank you so much. I will look to your other videos. I love the reference and encouragement for us to make food forests and landscapes in our back yards. thank you!!
That was a property I worked for in Big island Hawaii now I’m working on Kauai! Sorry but who knows if I come back there I’d like to visit those clients friends
You can eat the trunk core btw. It's cooked as vegetable in Asia. I've seen some people keep the stump a bit higher, and then carve the inside into bowl-shape and then cover it. It will fill up with water that the trunk pull from the ground and that water apparently have antioxidants and stuff.
Thank you for your valuable information 😎👍🏽 i just subscribed, I understand how hard it is to get new subscribers. You deserve many more, than you have. Many blessings, from all the way over here in Gloucester Virginia! Mrs. Squirrel ⚘
You’re so sweet with this comment. Thank you so much. I have so much to share but still learning how to express well in videos and in my ebook. But I will get there. I made a channel 10 years ago to share about raw food and how to plant. So many years passed and I’m still growing and learning so much but the time finally came I won’t stop creating videos and relating health-soil health-plants in a sintropic holistic way! I’m glad you already see the beginning of it and already see some value. All the health and blessings your way. Please keep sharing your journey planting, eating and becoming healthier and the time pass by…

I’d like to comment the same I’ve never seen anyone doing what he’s doing.

From cassava to bananas 🍌 amazing job!
I love cassava and tapioca from it! I’ll make a video about it soon for sure
Nice!

It's fun!
I agree! Do that also sometimes

Glad I could help! I’m so pleased by your comment friend! Thank you so much! That gave me more motivation to keep recording! Mahalo stay blessed
Wow, thank you for showing how this is done!
You are so welcome! What else would you be looking to learn about trees, gardens and forestry?
I wish I could grow bananas I’d use the trunks for mulching my fruit trees
It’s not everywhere but there’s good mulch and fruits everywhere
Great information well taught. Thank you! Please try to get your audio louder when you do your editing.
You’re doing it! Nice! 🤙🏼
Thanks! 😁
Wonderful teaching video! Thank you. I would like to see how much that cutting has grown to. Can you make a follow up video please?

Not many people know about this In the US it is very common around the world. Was told it is just the same as swamp cabbage. Palmetto bushes.
Oh wow! I knew about the core like palm heart! Never tried this water but I’m fine lol
@@AmaralTreeCareAgroforestry only saw it on TV. Could hurt to try as long as you make sure to keep things sanitary.
❤❤❤ a new friend hereu did a great job

Hey thanks for commenting!
bananas
Menino assiste tudo pra aprender
Algo da pra plantar aí no quintal depois do inverno 🥶
Can the bananas turn yellow and ripen on the plant?
Yes they can! Some people prefer that than they harvest
Good 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks ✌
Try an “X” cut for the first cut next time.
That's not a machete that is a daga machete are longer and hoja de sable longer then mache
Oh really!? Never heard of this. But didn’t really understand. Daga is smaller and machete are longer? What’s “hoja de sable”?
