The fast wind throws down my banana tree with the bananas.

It's raining here sometimes and the wind too are fast at times. This harsh wind has thrown down my Singapuri banana plant along with the bananas which I was waiting to ripe. In the photo is the banana florescent lying on the ground. It was heavy so my maid cut it and brought it inside. I have distributed most of them to my neighbours and my maid. Did fry some banana chips today and had it for lunch. I have to think of ways to cook them and finish them up.
At the background of my garden is the neighbour's land lotus tree. The lotus look white as it's early in the morning.
Have you had such an experience? Handling trees with fruits that are thrown down on the floor?

There are strong winds that can even fall heavier objects like vehicles buildings and stuff

I have not had problems with the wind blowing my banana tree down because I do not have a banana tree. I did have problems with the wind so strong that it almost blew me over with while I was inside my scooter. It was so powerful. Good work what your maid did by cutting it and bringing it inside. That was nice of you to give to the maid and your neighbors. I hope you can find some other ways to use the bananas up.

So were you able to figure out enough dishes to make with the bananas?

Yes, everytime the strong typhoon hits our place. Many banana plantations are badly hit. They're all toppled down.

That's very pathetic. One who plants the trees are heart broken.

@Nakitakona Banana plants once they get uprooted can't be replanted.

@aninditasen of course, but it could be replanted. Couldn't it?

The banana plants have their roots on the surface so when they bear fruits winds can topple them.

@Treborika That's the reason whenever the fruits are heavier than the tree it falls off.

@aninditasen It's easy for them to topple down especially if the fruit beared I'd heavier

@aninditasen Prop means just supporting them. You must be thinking of cropping them. No if you crop banana plants new leaves will not show up. The plant will die.

Do new leaves come up after you prop them?

@allknowing I did put some support once but yet the branch broke from above the support. I therefore leave it to fate.

I do dried cow dung. I can't eat them boiled everyday so I have to think of other ways to cook it.

They are actually ripe bananas that I allow to ripe on the tree and now I have to consume them raw.

Yes, it was quite strong. Moreover the roots of these banana trees are not that deep after they start bearing fruits.

@aninditasen Yes, if the roots of the trees are not that deep, they would be easily thrown down.

At least the fruit did not go to waste. This happens everywhere here when there's a strong typhoon.

It's sad seeing your banana tree blown over. I don't have any fruit trees that would be in jeopardy if it was too windy

No a banana tree bears only one florescent and once it falls it's no use picking it up. I have tried it once but it broke from the tip after a few days.
