When and how close to the ground do you prune a banana tree? |
Faith, Bananas do not need to be pruned. Most winters in central Texas will kill the stalks to the ground. Then you simply cut them off a few inches above the ground and they will send up new stalks from the base of the clump. If they make it through a mild winter, like last winter, just let them grow. You might even get fruit from the older stalks later in the year. Thanks for the question. Please feel free to stop in again any time we can help! |
