This guy has never met a banana tree. They also only feed you once.
- zote 6mo agonot really, a stem does so only once, as long as new ones grow from the rhizome the tree* will keep on feeding you. source: have a dozen banana trees* in our yard. *it's not a tree (it's technically a herb).
- trick-or-treat 6mo agoSure but you kill the "tree" when you harvest it. The only thing from my trees that will fruit year round is coconuts, and that's really more of a flavoring than a food. We give it to the ducks though and they like it.
- i_think_so 6mo agoHOOOOOOL up here. You feed coconuts...to ducks? How does that work??
- readthenotes1 6mo agoFor some reason, I'm imagining a man dressed as a medieval knight followed by a man clapping coconut husks. I guess I now know where the interior fruit went to, and why it is so notoriously slippery.
