Ice Cream Banana Harvest!!! | How to Harvest and Store Backyard Bananas

2021-02-17に共有
A year and a half after planting, it's time for our "Ice Cream" Banana Harvest! "Ice Cream" banana (AKA "blue java") put out its banana flower about 5 months ago, and is just now ready to harvest. This usually takes just 2-3 months, so it's possible the cold weather delayed it. In this video, I bring you along for our Ice Cream banana harvest, and show you how to store the banana once you've gotten the bunch off of the stalk.

  • What types of bananas have you grown and harvested? Any tips you've got? Affiliate link to the Corona saw I used to cut this down. Good for tree branches up to 7 inches: amzn.to/37qW5WG
  • i once had two bunches of bananas grow from the one plant i got 24 hands

    Wow we learn something new everyday great content
  • This was a great video. Thanks for sharing. Cant wait to get bananas in my orchard 🤗🤗🤗
  • Great video . I have started planting bananas in my yard and I saw your video and learned a lot . Thanks . Your plants are beautiful btw
  • Just started living on a farm with several banana stands, very interested in how to care for them. This video was so great! Love your personality and appreciate having several ways to do each of the steps. We have a stand that is precariously close to a creek bed, making harvesting with a ladder difficult. Your solution to cut at the base will help a lot, and save a BUNCH of bananas! 🍌 Many thanks!
  • It looked a little sketchy when you tied that noose in your garage lol. Great video!
  • Awesome very well done! I just watched my first video on your channel when you planted the java banana, nice to see it being harvested. I’m hoping my ice cream flowers this summer here in Syd, Aus too. 🌱 🍌

    Nice vid. I love me bananas. I hang the stalk up side down. Just so the fruit, I mean berry hangs down. Less stress on the hands especially if you have like two or three stalks hanging around and bananas are ripening faster than you can eat them. They last a lil longer on the stalk.
  • I never knew bananas are berries!! And I never knew they were called “hands” ! Thanks for an awesome video and for not cutting off my hands! 😂
  • @ellena858
    Nice info. I’m wondering when to cut off the flower. The University of Florida says to hang the rack by the flower stem.
  • So interesting! We had some kind of a banana tree in our backyard in Anaheim when I was growing up. I am remembering we only got fruit about every three years, and it wasn't a big bunch like you got. Maybe they were plantains? I hope you give a follow up on the ripening process. Thanks for sharing! :-)
  • My limited experience suggestions for others is to cut the stock a little higher up for easier hanging. Some of mine have been really straight near the fruit and can slip off a knot when you have a lot of banana weight.
  • @BBN358
    Great video buddy..Thank you...🙏😎
  • @kibsnick
    now i want a blue banana tree...😊
  • Thank you for this excellent video. I have an ice cream banana tree that is fruiting. Just moved to New Orleans from New Hampshire and don't know ANYTHING about tropical plants. I need all the help I can get!
