Thanks, Scot, I just watched the main video and enjoyed it. Many of us in areas with climate challenges just think of Hawaii as paradise without fully recognizing all of the pest challenges there. It was great to get a good handle on what growers there have to go through to produce bananas.

I was also surprised that suckers are so large when removed (6" psuedostem or larger). "Wow" was my initial impression. I was also surprised to see that so much of the corm is trimmed off when various pests are present.

Thanks again,

Harvey
