Thanks for all the suggestions! I am going to get some PVC pipe to hold up the bunch.
However, I still may have a problem with my manzano banana tree. The flower seems to be heading straight for my roof. There is a slim chance it will curve in more than expected and miss my roof, but I still would like to see if I could nudge the whole plant or bunch over a little bit without harming anything. Any suggestions?
Also, my newly discovered double mahoi banana tree will definitely not be able to support two bunches of fruit. Im not sure PVC pipe alone will be enough either. Please excuse the crude drawing, but I figured I'd scan an idea that I had for use as additional support.
Hypothetically, I would rest a 1x4 against the banana tree directly under where the fruit bunches are hanging, but not touching the stem.(I would use the pvc to support the stem). I would then place a 2x4 with one end in the ground and the other up against the 1x4 for support. I could also strengthen the structure further with more wood.
Im worried that the weight of the bunches combined with the flat surface of the wood might hurt the banana tree.. what do you guys think?
