Default Just a little windy here

Could someone do a no wind dance for me please! This is an actual action shot of 5 large Hawaiian Apple plants being broken in half by heavy winds from the north west. My plants are not used to the wind coming from that direction.



Just after they broke.



And after the emergency cleanup to remove some of them from our phone line.


Young fruit bunches.



So all you locals that want some really tall plants and large pups for free can come help me remove this stand this spring. I'm officially done growing tall bananas. In this wind I lost 2 bunches of young fruit and it looks like the last bunch standing will be coming down sometime tonight. The winds are supposed to be 70 mph tonight. Hopefully it doesn't break anything!
