Something that I've been seeing with frequency down here in Corpus Christi is fruiting Banana Trees that become so burdened with the weight of the Banana bunches that they break in half. Before you start to see the fruit, I would recommend finding something solid to support your banana tree with, or something to support the fruit so that the tree itself doesn't have to bear all the weight. It's so sad to see these die from something that is supposed to be natural for them! Sorry...just had to throw my .02 in there. I'm pretty envious of all you folks that have these edible banana trees! I've always wanted one, but the people down here want a FORTUNE even for me to go and dig a simple pup out of a small grove. i want one so bad!! Ugh!
