Banana Forty-first to forty-second week practices

Harvest bananas when they are swollen and green but before they become ripe (plump and yellow). Get at least 2 people to help you cut the banana pseudostem half way across and half way down. Let the plant fall down slowly and then remove the bunch from it by cutting the bunch stalk. Chop up the leaves and top part of the pseudostem and lay on the soil as mulch. Carry the bunches to the trailer and put them next to each other (not on top of each other).
