How to Plant an "Ice Cream" Banana Plant | ONE YEAR UPDATE and Machete Pruning "Blue Java" Banana 

It's hard to believe how gigantic this "blue java" or sometimes called "Ice Cream" banana plant is, just one year after planting. In this one year update, I look at how this ice cream banana plant is doing, and show how to remove one of the many "pups" that have sprung up. These pups sometimes take compete with the main plant for nutrients, so it's important to limit the amount of pups. Here is a link to the well made Ontario Knives Machete I use amzn.to/2Z1ObxG

Some people wonder how to grow bananas in pots, but this video focuses on how to grow banana in the ground. We've chosen the blue java banana, and hope that these banana growing tips allow you to enjoy a well growing banana tree. As I found out just a year later, it's pretty easy to grow bananas. The banana plant is very vigorous grower. Approaching how to grow bananas is a bit different than growing other fruit trees, in that you cut down the main plant after it has fruited. It doesn't take anything special to grow banana tree at home. There isn't a lot of mystery in how to grow banana trees, and this ice cream banana has just boomed without a lot of intervention. I also walk through how to prune banana, and demonstrate pruning banana trees using the preferred tool, a machete. I use the ontario knife machete from ontario knife company. These machetes are developed for the US Army, and I've found it to be a well made tool. Healthy bananas lead to tasty bananas, lol! Growing bananas, like gardening, are a great idea for your back yard orchard, and make beautiful front yard fruit trees
