Default Re: Fruit bearing

Once the banana has produced it is usually cut down and new corms will emerge around the base. Some people leave 2/3rds of the main truck standing so the nutrients with go back into the base and help with the new emerging plants.
I just cut them off with a sharp knife close to the base.
