Almost the only way (like 99.9%) to reproduce bananas. We as humans have bred away the seeds in cavendish, and thousands of heirloom varieties have gone extinct. Ever wonder why banana candy doesn’t taste like the bananas you know, that’s because that taste is an extinct species.
We just let those run wild from the mother shoot. The shoots bear one after the next. Honestly banana is the least managed fruit here in Grenada… Bur this was interesting
When you make the hole put the pot in it then fill the outside of the pothole with dirt then take out the pot and you have the perfect hole to put the plant in
Wonderful job. I have to add: when I lived in Hawaii, we had a large banana colony outside my window. I took it over as a personal project. I transplanted alot of its babies. But I was never as meticulous as you. Bananas are resilient on a whole nutha level. I would literally either take some gravel to the bottom of a pot, half fill with topsoil, take the shoot I had literally dug and chopped,( sometimes with a machete), and placed it directly into the pot, and filled it to within 1 inch of the top of the pot, water it well, and left it in the partial shade. Never had a problem groing shoots. Never lost any. Some I would put directly in the soil. Same thing. Tomata tOMatoe. Great vid

Hey epic garden can you do a video on what water is best for plants. bottle of water, tap water, fresh spring water, or pond/lake?
I never saw planting banana tree upside down.
I'm happy to see you popping back up on my shorts
Can you gift me a banana tree?😶🌫️
This is unnecessary at least in Georgia, I have a couple hundred, all you need to do is break off a new plant and put it in the ground. Nothing else.
Brb, gotta find my mama
I always thought they only fruit once! Amazing
Sad , that we actually put the natural Bees 🐝 out of work 😢
They’ll sprout no matter what, stressed or not haha

Corm.. idk why, buuuut thats a very satisfying word.
Ok but why put it in sideways? Stability? That is really not playing well with my autism 😅
I've always planted the offshoots and they work perfectly
What should i do with my banana so i can get fruit next year after winter ?
What zone are you in?
Dude thats doing too much

Why tilt it like that?
It's so weird that bananas "trees" are just giant herbs😅 ……
Yes. 20 dollars of soil to raise 5 bucks worth of bananas. Lol
Why do we do this to ourselves? Us pepper growers are absolutely no different.
why remove the off shoot, to let it grow another off shoot?
as the banana tree grew, so also the beard 😂
❤❤❤
Okay, but why almost upsite down? What is the benefit?
Una planta madre solo debe de tener un hijo remplazo cuando ya tiene racimo para evitar competencia de nutrientes
Be careful – banana sap stains fabric – watch your clothes.
