Another Broken Tree
I had three bunches of Ice-cream Bananas and one just fell. I think the bananas are too small and probably wont turn yellow. I took the first picture today about two hours before it fell.

Re: Another Broken Tree

Re: Another Broken Tree
The first two are about a week apart in September. The third came out in October.

Re: Another Broken Tree
Sorry to see that.
If possible, I would not harvest the bunch. Just wait and see if the bananas do fill in. It happened twice to me this year. One bunch that was about the age of yours never made it, but my last Ice Cream bunch at least changed color and ripened after only hanging for three month. |

Re: Another Broken Tree
As long as the bunch and the pstem are still in one piece and the rootball is in the ground you can save it. I did this with last years Pisang Klotek. Just lift up the top of the tree and prop it up to horizontal. Wait till the bunch shows some yellow. Walla!

Re: Another Broken Tree
I finally got the banana Tree propped up. If the other tree starts to fall this prop should support it too.

Re: Another Broken Tree
Just leave it alone and see what happens. You can only make it worse. You cannot make it better. If there is any connection left in the flower stem, it will be fine. if not, its toast.

Re: Another Broken Tree
The bananas started to ripen. They are very small. Taste good
