The goal it to support the banana bunch stem, not the tree, the the point that is highest (furthest from the ground) so the weight is carried by the prop.

The "theory" is straightforward, but in practice, there's no way I can get a tall enough ladder anywhere near these bunches hanging 16' up to tie the prop to the tree. Or have two legs to it, given that one would have to be in my neighbor's yard! Oh, the woes of tall bananas in small yards...
