@Alexandoy Yes, I can see that. DO you have any other plants in your backyard?

@Adie04 that is the wonder in this type of banana. It can be eaten as is or it can be fried. Not all banana types can be fried.

They ripen almost all at the same time. We cannot eat all even just a cluster of 15 bananas in one day. It takes us more than 2 days to finish the cluster of 15.

@JudyEv that is good that you can buy just enough quantity. It is a shame when the fruit is wasted.

@Alexandoy We can buy pre-packaged bananas here. There might be 8 or 9 in a pack and they are not really big so we can usually eat them all before they get too ripe.

Instead of being waste it is best to give the excess banana to neighbors.

@Alexandoy I did not know that. Does that mean they themselves turn yellow later?

wow that's a huge harvest. you throw away the plant or use the stem for cooking a vegetable dish. We prepare cury with the stem and flowers too. Very tasty dish eaten with rice.

We do not eat the stalk if you mean the white core of the tree. It is not edible to us. With the flower or the blossom, we cook that in coconut milk or mix it with other vegetables dishes.

Our property is only 280 square meters and the trees are cramped that they are so close to each other.

@HannahKusKus when the space is cramped the banana tree tends to have lesser fruits.
