Re: racoon hell!!!!
The core of the pseudostem, the white pith, is edible. We are using that in several recipes. It has high fiber and absorbs many flavor that you put in. During World War II, my father (long gone now) used to tell us that they eat the pseudostem core and can tide them over. There's always plenty of "wild" bananas growing all over, and the core provides survival food. If there's fruit, that would have been a big bonus, but it was during the war so fruit on the tree would be very scarce.
Once the raccoon get a taste of the core... It might come back over and over until your clump is gone. So be careful how you dispose your left-over pseudostems.
