the flower bud

Each successive tree has yielded less bananas. It might come to a stage when I might stop bananas and give up that area to another plant. Anyway we will deal with that when it comes. For now, this tree (#4) has stopped putting out combs that are growing. So time (slightly overdue) to cut the bud. 

It went to one of our neighbours, the only one who here who knows how to cook it.
