Leaning 15 foot banana plants
We have a group of banana plants that are approximately 15-20 feet tall and they are leaning over our patio. Do we need to worry about them breaking off from being top heavy or falling over completely? They are beautiful but we don't want anyone to get hurt.

Re: Leaning 15 foot banana plants
yes they could fall if they get a wind or even on their own.
Just take a 2x4 or something and prop it up to help support them. |

Re: Leaning 15 foot banana plants
Probably a good idea to prop them, some bananas are not so wind tolerant. And I have seen pics of fuiting ones fall.

Re: Leaning 15 foot banana plants
I used a tripod taller than my tall banana to hold up my damaged banana. It worked well to hold it up but it turned out the damage to the lower pstem was too much. But the tripod worked well.
