Yes, they die after they fruit, just like the pineapple 🍍 plants do. My grandfather used to cut them down with a machete or a brush hook after they fruited on his old banana 🍌 farm when he was alive,I bought a couple of lady finger banana 🍌 plants (I think,I'll know when they will fruit) last weekend which is the variety my grandfather used to grow. I live 150 km (90 miles) north of Sydney in Australia & he used to live 600 kilometres (360 miles) north of where I live,he used to live up near the Queensland border in New South Wales,the lady finger bananas are suited for our more subtropical climate. I want to try & get my hands on a Cavendish banana 🍌 plant & see how it goes but they tend to grow them more in the tropics like in far north Queensland !
So what is it when the trunk turns black, leaves prematurely fall at the stem? I have a gold finger that comes back every year. By fall it’s black and the leaves fall one by one. I live in Florida and noticed several varieties do this. Orinoco doesn’t do this. However, Orinoco is so tall it takes forever to get fruit.
My Orinoco fruited thos past summer (22lbs), and its3 pups are 5 feet tall with pups of there own. I cut mom out in the fall and these took off. I'm over in Chandler Don and my Jujubes are 20 feet tall. Heat killed my apricots and 1 peach tree last summer BUT we spit out pits of peaches and now have 2 8 foot tall peach trees growing with our Meyer lemons.
I always wanted to grow them here in Southern California but where Im at the Santa Ana winds hit my yard hard on a more shadier section. Our house blocks these winds in a certain area of our yard but that side gets sun from the moment it rises until the moment the sun goes down... and well we get into the low 100s in the summer... any suggestions
Bananas love sun and heat, wind is okay as long as it's not the type to blow trees over, the two things you'll need to ensure are consistent water in summer and a lot of organic matter/mulch. Maybe look into growing a mulberry tree to create some more microclimate for the banana under it's canopy
The skinny, short and sweet. A lot better than spending 20 minutes listening to somebody talk just to get the little bit of info 😢❤

I think you know this by your last line.... but Cavs like it at least above 10 c / 50 f They can tolerate short drops to 10c but not for durations

Great video as usual!Thank You!
What would happen if you didn’t cut those stalks down?
It withers away,. Just looks more cleaned up if you just cut off that stalk after it fruits.
