Banana tree

Banana planting need a lot of cleaning section! This is the area where I grow my banana. It all started with single plantlet. Now I have few of them. On and off we need to tidy this place. Chop the leaves, collect the dry bark, etc

Can you see the banana on top of the tree? The plant grow very tall. I need to use ladder to chop the banana flower and later the fruits! If all goes well, I shall harvest bananas at the end of next month!  

That's my calculation. Maybe it will take longer or shorter. I don't really keep track of the timing. So I only has a rough estimation with me!

I chop some of the leaves for Ponggal - Hindu harvest festival last month. So they look tidy now. We ate our lunch on banana leaves! The rice have very authentic taste on banana leaves!
