Great advice guys. I was aware of the need for the bowl shape, but I always struggled to get the shape I wanted. Didn't ever think about making lots of short cuts with the machete. Excited to give it a try...
Thanks for showing this in detail. I like the blade style of your machete. Most available here in the US have far too broad of the tip to do that work. It will take some grinding to bring it down but can be done.
Super informative, especially interesting to me is how you cut and place the trunk. I'm in Florida and experienced rot after leaving a stump, I ended up digging the whole corm. It did sprout again elsewhere. I will be trying your method. Thank you!
Thank you for the informative video. What happens to the root part that is left in the ground? It seems that area where the root is left after you have pruned the tree cannot be used. Thank you.
Very interesting! Thanks! Do you plant suckers upside down? If you do could you please post a video of that. If not, can you show how you do it. Cheers
Hey very nice video, i've got a question that hasn"t anything to do with bananas though. When you have a more mature system, how do you cut emergent wood trees without destroying everything under the tree since they're all on the same line ?
I really like how you are doing this, but have to find the type of machete that you use here first. Our blades of our machetes are all bent towards the inside rather than to the outside - and you cannot do this cut with those. Here being Central India, close to Pune.
