Chopping down banana tree 

lol

😂😭

Right, but he didn’t cut this one because it already produced fruit but to save it from dying in the winter. It will come back and still go on to produce fruit if it survives the winter, next year.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing

This was the blue Java one. It’s no where near fruiting this year and will die back to ground over winter. All way too big and far from house to try to overwinter

Interesting 🤔

I don’t know if it’s true or not but from watching banana videos today it seems like the trees fruit ones and then die. But they send up “pups” that replace the plant for the next year

​@@katjones4840 you can see 3 pups on the base of the plant

😂

Yes. I plan on building small greenhouses around them in next couple weeks

Will also address some other ideas as well

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog I ended up putting it in the garage for now 😂

Laughing since I train Muay Thai 🤣

Or fertilizer

Just posted a video on this. I’ve got the veinte cohol in a trash can indoors for the winter. Should be about 4 feet tall in spring. Definitely will fruit

Why is he a dummy?! He cut it to save it from the cold in winter, which can be done if it hasn’t yet produced fruit yet which will come back and go on to still grow more later on if it survives the cold. And you’re supposed to cut them after they do fruit so they will pop up more pups on the bottom from its roots and keep on producing more to keep growing more fruit. He’s not dumb for keeping his plants alive and knowing what should be done with them and doing them.

@@Lacroix999interesting. I have a couple banana trees and you summed up what I need to do to grow them. So when you chop down a banana tree after it fruits what do you do with the tree you chopped? You re plant it or something?

Where do you live, I struggle to in Georgia

You can definitely use them. I just added these as compost to my soil

Coconut rice wrapped on chunk of ripe banana. Leaf wrap and grill. Reason I planted....😊

Tamales use corn husk...

Unfortunately no. If you don’t see any roots on the top part, then it won’t grow back. If you cut it close down to soil and get a small part of the roots, then it will. But if you cut it like I cut mine, it will not grow back from the top part

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog thanks. What should I do with the top?

@@flarethefox9836 you can either compost it somewhere or cut it up into small pieces and use as mulch. It will break down quickly and return nutrients to the soil

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog thank you

If it hasn’t flowered, it can. But I did out to the roots and let a new pup takes it place for next year

Technically a grass also a herb and berry.

It's very satisfying for sure. That's why I made this video because it's something I always wanted to try. And it was about to die back to ground for the winter

Yeah i think they are very soft because they really are not even trees. I wish i could grow some, but i live in too cold enviroment

My tree are already growing back after I cut it down. No quit in them. 😉🤣

@@lalli8152 Where do you live? I have seen some people farther north have so success. Probably wont get fruit, but could probably still growth a cold hardy version for the looks

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog fairly north in Finland. I at least assume it would be difficult to grow here since it can get over -30 celsius in winter

90 pounds is very light

That's hardcore if they cut it with their hands

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog yeah💀

They grow insanely fast, maybe 2-3 months

There are 3 suckers coming up if you look closely. Could pull two out and replant and leave 1 to grow back.

Yes, was looking for the comment about machete safety

That’s right 😎

They grow so fast, its just fun to chop down and start over again

It was about to die for winter, so thought I'd have some fun with it

Yes. All banana plants can be used as plates or wraps when cooking

Yes! They grow back every year, very fun plant. Here is the machete I have, it is great and very sharp: amzn.to/3MiZGbJ

​@Georgia Farming with Fluevog Many thanks for the reply, sir! I want to move to South Florida so I can plant tropical plants in my garden! :D

@@염세주의자-s4r Yes! My friend lives there and has all sorts of lemon trees, orange trees, etc. Very easy to grow there

Why not?

Yeah this was a blue Java. They can get up to 20 feet tall with their leaves

Yes! Every year and they grow even faster

This is a blue Java

It was really fun. I had always been wanting to do this lol

Yes! After you cut down a banana tree after it fruits, the center will rise and the process starts all over again! :) banana trees grow up to 8-16 feet in one growing season

Yep, it will technically be a new pup, not from the center of the last plant. It will be adjacent to the one that just fruited

Isn't *....

This is a blue Java. It fruits around 15 feet at where the leaves come out. And 20+ if you include height of the leaves

That’s part of the reason I cut this one town. It was only this tall and we were close to winter where it was going to die. So I chopped it down to have fun rather than the slow death by winter

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog where can I find blue Java?

@@flarethefox9836 wellspring gardens is where I got mine

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog thanks

Let it grow back and fruit the next year

It was almost winter. It was going to die from the cold so I went ahead and chopped it down myself

it's regrowing every year 😏

Why not?

Oh idk to use for paper, food, plates, or wood It was dead anyways

Sure did!

It was dead stupid

It was about to die in the winter
