After 30+ years in Alaska, I decide to move to Hawaii for a change.
We closed on our property acquisition a couple of days ago and have begun to get it ready to move into.
I knew it had a few banana trees on it.
Today I began cleaning up palm fronds, banana leaves and pushing the uluhe back.
Much to my dismay [pleasure], I find that I have at least 25 banana plants in 4 or 5 clumps of 5 to 8 plants scattered around the property.
Some are still buried under the advancing uluhe.
One has begun to put out a blossom.
After I get them all cleared and cleaned up I'll be looking for help to I.D. them.
All appear to be in the 6' to 8' height range. One clump has a reddish color to the underside of the leaves.
I'm thinking that at least some of them are apple bananas because of their popularity around here.
I'll post photos of them as I get them cleared out and cleaned up.
