Default Re: Is it Time?

What type is this and how tall is it? If it is short enough that you can reach it, I usually just saw through the top of the bunch about a foot above the fruit so I can get a good grip. I usually cut off most of what is below the bananas first too. If it is very tall, I saw through the back of the p-stem opposite the side the bananas are. Cut about 2-3 feet from the ground. Part way through sawing, the whole plant will start to tip and then the bananas will be low enough to cut down. May need help if it's something very tall to catch the falling bunch before it hits the ground.
