Looks easy enough... for him. Thanks for that. I watched part of that video before, but being so droll, I didn't make it that far.

If you're asking me those were 2 that ripened on a small rack of namwahs. The rest are a bit bigger but still small. This is the plant that I hacked off a 5' pup from the mother and planted it immediately in the ground. It never lost so much as a leaf and produced a rack a year later.

FYI those mini bananas were freaking delicious.
