Default Re: Removing leaves when and how

I use double edge razors on mine... I like them to look more like a palm, so I trim off any leaves that are "too low" on the stalks. Other than that, I wait for the higher ones to start dying out before I touch them.
My mother also stops by and asks for me to cut off leaves so she can use them to wrap one of our typical caribbean foods - similar to the Mexican tamales, but made with ground up tubers, bananas, and meat, all wrapped in banana leaves. So in that case I HAVE to go for larger leaves.
