Default Re: Fruiting myth

Hi imdocrob, after you cut the bunch of fruit from the plant, go ahead and cut the banana plant down. That particular plant will never produce fruit again and will slowly die so you might as well cut it down and give the suckers room to grow. Also, once a plant produces the flower (fruit) stalk, it will not produce any more leaves - it's done growing.
