Harvesting banana tree #4

 Noticed a split on one of the lower fruits so decided its time to harvest.

I wish I thought about a weighing scale to measure the harvest.

8 combs.. not bad!!

Slice into the bent fruit stem to prevent pontianaks from materialising.

Chopped down the tree, sawing from the top in 6-12in segments, just the right size to make it easy to handle. Sorted into 3 piles to dry out a bit more before adding to the compost. Some of the leaves will go into the fish pond.

From left to right... leaves, trunk, dried/dead bits.
