Yes she does, however she likes to cut them halfway down at the stem during Winter if they get damaged because she doesn't like the look of dying bananas.
This causes some weird issues with fruiting.
I've seen it where in the spring the first thing one of the stems did was send out a flower - no leaves. Of course the flower and bananas wilted and died.
I also saw another one where it only pushed out 2 leaves and then a flower. I think only 1 hand was able to form lol.
She gets a lot of them to fruit at 8ft-10ft this way too.
Also she doesn't bother fertilizing or watering the bananas - these are growing all natural.
