Sorry to see that, Sam. I know you'll be chopping banana plants for a long time. At least they'll regenerate.

Hello great video. Question I have bananas that just started budding two separate racks on two trees. The temperatures will dip to low 40s. What should I do? I need help. First time grower here.

Sam, this was hard to watch. But you have a positive attitude and I have no doubt things will be cleaned up and getting back to growing and ripening bananas before too long. God bless.

I took all the leaves off the Banana plants I wanted to save, and they came through fine and have started producing new growth. At this point I have decided to get rid of most of my other Banana plants, as I find they are too much work to keep up with. Sorry to see how much damage you have.

It’s hard but god will put you back on your feet. Just have a little faith.god bless you sorry.

Gosh, sorry to see the damage to your trees. Didn’t you get hit last year?

Russ here again from Ocala ,just watching this devastation to your farm,god bless ,hope your OK, take a break and as we all do,start to get things recovered

Russ from Ocala, sorry for your experience, we didn’t get hit that bad, I watch all your videos,hope you recover soon,where are you located.

Did you inherit a flag pole? Racks of bananas everywhere

Sam sorry to see this I lost three and I was upset I can't imagine what you going through

Genius

Sam, I learn from you to live four leafs on banana plant. I went further I left two or three on the plant which I cut half of each. Of course except the plant with have fruits I left more leifs. This method worked. I did not loose any plant. I feel sorry for your loss.

So sorry to see your place messed up. I've got a similar mess here in Brandon. All the best for a good recovery. ❤

that is bad - we also got hit by Milton and by Helene. Lost most of our bananas as helene passed, so when milton was making a direct line for our area I heavily pruned all our remaining fruit trees. For our remainingg bananas I cut off all of the leaves, and on our managos we trimed 80% of the leaves off leaving only 20% of each leaf. (we have small trees). This actually worked! Milton winds were far stronger then helene for us and all of my pruned trees survived well. During helene the larger trees were like parchutes catching the wind and they broke inhalf or were pushed over tearing roots. I hope you recover quickly!

We've all been worried sick about you. Thank you for the video. I know you have been busy. For a farmer, the damaged trees and plants we have loved since the day we planted them, it hurts, and it makes the cleanup a little more difficult. So very glad you and your family are all ok. This is all that matters after a hurricane. I wish I could fly up and help you with your clean up. Praying for a quick farm recovery, and an end to hurricane season '24. Let us know how we can help if you need. Cheers from Bordeaux Mtn Bananas, St John US Virgin Islands. Great video, btw.

Glad to see you are ok and your home survived. The cleanup will suck but all that is replaceable you are not. Still have limbs, and debris to pick up and compost here too but nothing like you have to deal with. Be careful...I already tweaked my stupid back and am sidelined until I can move again. But I'm blessed my place the things left to do can wait. My friends homes in New Smyrna seem ok except cleanup and hopefully nothing major once they can get over to that coast to check them over. Neighbors did a quick check and they appear ok. Just a lot of cleanup. I hope everyone on the channel is safe!

Nice garden. Hope you were not affected by Milton. Greetings!

man….. just no words…positive thoughts your way…..man…..

Hey Sam. The main thing is that you're okay.

That's awful! I hope that you have at least someone to help you with the clean-up.

Wish you the best, hope everything works out for you.

You're a hardworking man. God Bless.

So sorry about the damage Milton caused on your property. Just keep doing the wonderful work you are doing.

Wow very sorry to see your place In this condition !! It was a disaster for many !! All we can do is rebuild.

Oh, boy. Looks like you've got your work cut out for you.

Banana plants that evolved in the wild were never trimmed by man yet they produced ripe bananas for animals to eat and spread seeds.

Frugal Hugel, I hope you and your family, and your farm are all OK after the storm. I have a question for you. I was given a wood chipper for my banana farm. I am worried banana tree/leaf/stem sap will gum it up. Is that a problem when you use yours? Is there a cleaning solution for that crazy sap?

Is there a part 2 ? Did it work for you.

Thanks for showing how to do this

❤❤❤

You turned the head wrong way first and your bead isn't positioned correctly on the head.

Hi sir thanks very much for your advice. What is the name of this mesh and where to get it

There is an old saying: “A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.” That applies to this misinformed video in spades! I am a career agriculturalist, and a very long term tropical agriculture small scale farmer in Hawaii. As far as I can tell, the information you are disseminating is incorrect. You appear to be conflating randomly cutting off healthy leaves with “de-trashing,” which is removing fungus infected (ie. Yellow Sigatoka and Black Sigatoka leaf spot diseases) leaves with 50% or more infection. It is NOT in dispute! No commercial or knowledgeable small scale farmer would ever remove healthy leaf tissue. PLEASE stop “Googling” your incorrect information. Even a single reputable research article is not enough information to source from. It takes many research projects and many years of experience to come up with a comprehensive Best Management Practices for any crop. Your plants do not manifest symptoms of Yellow Sigatoka, let alone 50% infestation on the leaves you are removing. There is zero sense and rationale for removing them. If you wanted to do this home experiment correctly, you treat 5-10 mats one way and 5-10 cutting nothing off as a control while keeping all other management practices identical. Also, you need to start providing full source attribution if you are claiming to share research articles. Recommendation: Do a lot more learning and worry less about building your TH-cam channel sharing incorrect information to the unsuspecting public. EDIT: Yellow Sigatoka does not yet exist in FL. Black Sigatoka does, but same rules for de-trashing apply. For those interested in well researched information for homeowners, please reference University of FL agriculture publications. ifas.ufl.edu

I wonder if this is true for non-edible bananas like Musa basjoo? Does one worry about sword and water suckers with ornamentals?

sword sucker vs. water sucker but both grow to be the same size, I only have bananas because of the leaves and the height. It's too cold for fruit here. Or is there a difference in height?

Lmao standing in front of a rack and glasses fogging up

What should be the pressure maintain to distribution of uniform fertilizer and how many liters of fertilizer should be injected for uniform fertication

My Blue Java just flowered and I actually have a small grove of bamboo that I've been thinking of cutting back. Looks like I have a Saturday project.

OK, so since making this video I had some people give their feedback:( ( Below) See My (((FEEDBACK))) Below!!! (FEEDBACK) Any school aged kid knows that bamboo, sugar cane, and grape grow from the nodes of cuttings.......no revelation here. (FEEDBACK) We all know what bamboo can do, no surprise here.... :) (FEEDBACK) Actually there are several videos showing how to propagate by cutting...this is considered by cutting. I ran into this similar experience with galangal plants. I cut to maintaine the size of the bush, and use the cuttings as mulch and ended up I had a bunch of young plants emerge from the nodes. (((MY THOUGHTS))) OK so here’s the deal with Seabreeze Bamboo and other clumping Bamboo Plants! Many have a hard time propagating (( Bamboo )) from cutting even from nodes. (I have other bamboo propagation videos) plus many propagation videos of Fruit Trees, Grape Vines, Sugarcane, and more! The only way that I was successful was to Separate by the roots and plant or pot. However, what makes this unique is that you can propagate the whole cane at one time. Simply by floating in the pond. Someone mentioned Plants by cuttings: I have propagated many PLANTS by Cuttings, however it is very different propagating Bamboo so there is no comparison to propagating plant vs Bamboo. however many have a hard time propagating (( Bamboo )) from cutting even from nodes. (I have other bamboo propagation videos) Plus, there are many propagation videos of Fruit Trees, Grape Vines, Sugarcane, and more! However, what makes this unique is that you can propagate the whole cane at one time. simply by floating in the pond. the plus side is that the purpose of a floating island is the roots in the water, which are not built into the floating island. Thanks for your input. the plus side is that the purpose of a floating island is the roots in the water, which are not built into the floating island. (If you had any success propagating from BAMBOO nodes ) let me know! Thanks for your input. So the topic of this video was making a floating island so you can have aquatic plants on it which when grown will have their roots down into the water thus filtering the water to Improve water quality and reduce Pollutants providing a biodiversity Habitat. Thanks for Watching

Your garden is truly a work of art

hello sir, im 4m India northeast region. is it ok to trim n left 3-4 leaves wen its mature but yet to form bud.

It's awesome until it gets out of control and starts killing out the native plants. If you want to grow Bamboo it should be done in a container or with underground barriers installed that go below the root growth.

The start of another invasive species.

I only know of the dry leaves but the healthy one i dont think so

🇺🇲 SUBSCRIBE! and Help me get to 10,000 SUBS! Thanks 🙂

this also, is like how sugarcane is propgated.

actaully there are several videos showing how to propagate by cutting...this is considered by cutting. I ran into this similar experience with galangal plants. I cut to maintaine the size of the bush, and use the cuttings as mulch and ended up I had a bunch of young plants emerge from the nodes.

We all know what bamboo can do, no surprise here.... :)

Any school aged kid knows that bamboo, sugar cane and grape grow from the nodes of cuttings.......no revelation here.

Gonna give it a try out here in Arizona, thanks!
