Default Re: What do I do after the banana tree is done fruiting

Ditto to the above. Even if you don't cut it, it will die. Best cut it as soon as you harvest so no extra energy is spent into the mother plant, and go ahead and chop up and leave the remains in the same area of growth, so that the existing or future pups will get plenty nutrients from the deteriorating mother plant.
