Our machete was really dull, so two weeks ago the gardeners took it away to sharpen it - of course, as soon as they left it was apparent that the bananas need to be cut. Two weeks later - asked them to cut the now over due bunch, as well as the next bunch that is pretty much ready.
These have been chewed by something(s) - pizotes and birds - we will hack through a salvage what we can.
These are maybe a week early, but better this way than letting the wildlife at them.
So Lisle says this morning - I don't really like bananas - they are great for baking but not eating! The one thing we can get to grow and fruit! Sometimes no pleasing him!
Anyway - FYI - bananas aren't trees - vascular plants that fruit once and need to be cut down - each plant starts 'babies' before it fruits, so always more to come.
