@urbanfarmstead: When I planted this banana two years ago, along with 50+ other tropical and subtropical plants in my Northern California food forest (zone 9b), it was very much an experiment. I knew there was a chance that they would survive and possibly fruit here, but it wasn’t a sure thing. What I never would have expected is a rack of bananas this massive and for the fruit to taste so phenomenal. To be honest, I would’ve been stoked with a dozen bananas that tasted almost as good as what I could buy in the store. So to say this experience has exceeded my expectation would be an understatement. This banana plant was a gift from a friend who didn’t know the name of the variety. After talking with people who have been growing bananas for a lot longer than I have it sounds like this is most likely a Tall Nam Wah banana. #gardening #garden #homegrown #bananas#homestead #permaculture #foodforest #plants
Why are everyone in the comments so hateful? Dude tried something new and managed to grow a huge amount of bananas. Who cares how he harvests the thing, it's his tree!

Hi there, you must chop down the tree that you harvest from as it won’t give any more fruit. You harvest the banana rack by chopping down the tree (cut itslowly from one side and the tree will slowly fall to that side) and the rack will slowly fall to the side and it’s easier to harvest without ladders etc. The pups are kept and grown a little larger and then you can separate from mother plant and transplant if you want as that will give you your next harvest of bananas. The tree that is chopped down is great for composting in place.

Hey, just a heads up — don’t throw away that banana flower! In Southeast Asia, we actually eat it. It’s delicious in dishes like coconut curry, stir-fry, or even raw as a salad or side veggie. It’s packed with nutrients too. You might want to give it a try!

in Indonesia we cut off the tree after we harvest, and we also eat the banana flower we call it Jantung Pisang especially if the fruit doesn't grow well

Next time sir, if you plant bananas again, it's better to cut the red banana flowers after all the banana fruit have emerged from the flowers. it will make the growth of the banana fruit more optimal. and all the nutrients will not be divided again to the flowers that you have cut, all will be given to the fruit, thank you
