Sorry about that, I suppose my photos aren't worth a 1000 words.

Looks can be deceiving, this is a mountain road and the bananas are on the downhill side of the road. The slope beyond the bananas is about 60 degrees with a drop in that area of about 50 -60 feet, at the bottom there is a washout. The trees behind the bananas are much taller than they appear.

If you were to farm on a 60 degree slope, you're better off with the road at the bottom rather than the top.
