Jon I whole heartedly take your advice and knowledge on how to grow BANANAS without hesitation. You are the best Guru because you share everything you know from your experience. In less than 6 minutes or so to watch this Video, I learn everything about how to grow BANANAS SUCCESSFULLY. You are a Champion. Keep passing down your knowledge. 👏👏👏
What he said is that the banana once planted deep can go with out water for that period or more until it gets water. In other words it can take some strain. However bananas do like alot of water and will grow nicely with lots of water.
Now I know what to do for our banana trees here on the property! A recent bit of knowledge, mosquitos pollinate banana trees! I knew they had to have another purpose besides biting me! Lol Great knowledge in these videos!
Bananas, are incredibly good, nutritious and grow very easily in tropical countries. The banana leaves are used as wrappers and many years ago, I remember Thai people using them on top of houses to make a roof which had to be replaced every now and then. I had a horrible inflamation of the gums which lasted a long time and I couldn't possibly brush my teeth. My teeth were starting to look very dirty after a while so I took a piece of banana leaf and started to gently massage my teeth, there was more saliva instantly produced and my teeth became very white again. I also chewed a piece of a banana leaf to get rid of the "dirt" on top of my tongue; it worked almost instantly. Today, I no longer use a toothbrush but just leaves, a great one I discovered is the leaf they use in Cambodia to cook amok, to clean your tongue and have a fresh breath there are many plants, one of my favourite is curry leaves, a leaf which seem to have a twin attached because of its shape. I'll keep experimenting so please keep informing us, another all purpose tree is the coconut tree which I have renamed Tree of the Gods because it can save your life if you get dehydrated when it's fresh, you can make coconut milk (they have saved many baby elephants in Africa whose mothers were killed for the ivory, by feeding them coconut milk), its purpose is just too wide to be mentioned here. I love coconut milk so much in banana smoothies, soups and desserts. My requests for next videos are: 1. How to grow coconut trees, harvest them and use them 2. How to grow avocado trees, harvest the fruit and how to store them. 3. How to grow food in tropical countries by following the principles of permaculture (food forest). Thank you in advance. God Bless You All!
This was the greatest banana info of my life. Nothing left to guess at. With the weather getting warmer each year my bananas are surviving the winters. I know exactly what to do now. Thank you. Florida, US
Thank you Jon for this video, you give me a lot of ideas no bananas propagation, especially on planting fruit tress under the bananas you are right bananas don't live longer, i'm so happy to know this, i'm going to do this in my piece of land that i bought while working in a foreign land, thank you once again....
Good afternoon John,l have just found your channel and the very first video was all about CHIVES just what l was looking for.Great advice thank you so much.England UK 🌱🌱🌱💕👌
My best friend linked this channel to me and I must say I find your style inspirationally humble. I am amused by the call to move to a tropical country for the sake of growing bananas. It's a cheerful thought that despite lacking western wealth and privelege, you enjoy the simple things in life so much more than we usually get to. I would love to try my hand at small scale farming here in New Zealand. I enjoy gardening a lot and have kept chickens before, and I have such an affinity for those animals.
I love your organic content you make. I also do terrace farming and do have a farm but still young to handle it now. Ill grow as much things i could in my house in pots organically and that too which could come on a regular basis
Banana plants are an integral part of Hindu culture. We use the leaves as biodegradable plates and the food eaten on banana leaves are said to be more digestible. The edible inner core is said to be keep hypertension in control. Even the raw banana(cooked) is eaten and is a delicacy in the eastern part of India. The flowers are also edible.
great day! this is great Jon, as usual. for more seedlings you can actually cut up the trunk/root/stem into around 8 pieces - first in half...and place in some used tray. these pieces can grow up to even more than 4 seedlings!!!! still very much within the "easy" model
I am growing bananas for the first time in zone 8B. 4 have grown to 25 in one year. Time to separate and replant. I learned a lot from your video today. Thank you!
Dear Jon, Your videos are really inspiring. The best part is the simplicity of the videos. The videos are without any filters, background music, transition and other editing effects, but still they are so beautiful and simple. True to the name of this channel Life is easy
we can grow banana plants here.... in the mountains of Virginia USA ... they die back in the winter but come back in the spring and grow quite large. I would like to try planting trees in them like you have shown sometimes you can get over ripe bananas in the store I will try to dry them and make banana syrup too.... thank you so much for all you share
Teacher, I Love your wisdom and wonderful videos. Do your plants like the extra fish parts when you plant bananas..? And I like my bananas fried in a little coconut milk. 🍌🍌🍌
Thank you Sir 👍 for so much of information on bananas plant I learned a lot ..Do tell us how to care for the trees so that they can be free from disease and pest .. thanks
I’m currently growing a blue java banana and I can’t wait to see the fruit! When I went to Asia they had the BIGGEST jack fruit trees on the mountains in the temples, I bought one at my local farmers market and am super excited to see what it turns into! Great video friend!
Dear brother thank you so much for your excellent advise I learned a lot from you! I recently moved to the Philippines from the US, one of the reasons was banana. They have been my favorite food sense a boy. Thanks again!
I live in Japan which is subtropical. However, I was delighted to learn you can grow banana trees here in the south which is where I live. It's a future project!
It never cross my mind to grow tree in between the banana bunch. But this is brilliant ideas. The plant surely survive on the water the banana has in its root or stem. Now i need more banana everywhere
Hi Jon I live in a cold climate with a brief period of tropical weather in the summer. I grow banana in a greenhouse in winter. We get into -18*c. This year was successful. We harvested fruit and flower. Delicious! Very Good. Thank you for your video, I learned more now. We are growing more bananas now. Your advice is good too. It gets very cold here, I question why I stay...
I hope I can come and join you. and spend the rest of my life there. How can a Singaporean stay long in Thailand. Overtime I visit thailand they only allow me to stay 30days without a VISA.
I'll take your advice I'll be moving with my Indonesian wife to Bali I appreciate all your great information, & knowledge sharing. God willing you can come and visit us. I'll be building some modest sized all bamboo Greenhouse/homes I hope the idea grows in neighborhood so we could have an entire population I'm self sufficiency with minimal money generation by selling the surplus of what our fellow population produces first we need a website where true consensus voting can get everyone on the same page and then everyone will sign the contract which states they will do their portion of the predetermined chores necessary we will sell Surplus (outside of our borders only) for the most part only to pay property taxes.. If you have an interest in helping to develop such a way of life I would be grateful if you could find time to have a conversation with me. Thanks for your work and helping to save the natural world and our fellow Humanity.
@@beatamafulu2405 I haven't received your email reply. I think it best if I could speak with you via Skype or Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger. You name the platform you prefer and I'll try to get back with you - That is if you give me your contact number or name to search through whichever platform you choose. Or perhaps if you subscribe to my TH-cam channel which has no videos produced by me - but many (in my categorized playlists) by TH-cam creators. You can try to personal message me there or you can try to find me on one of the other platforms I'm usually named fellowvillager but not followed by many people I believe it's due to my to my anti-political attitude and disgust for what money does to most people - and due to my outspokenness it seems the controllers of the internet keep me rather shadowbanned and stifled. So if you're not able to get through to me on any of the recommended platforms it's because it seems I may be blacklisted by the internet controllers of the (money monger) world. And that would be why we're not able to connect too easily through their controlled by algorithms and keywords "type Networks". Networks geared predominantly to generate money for the wealthy and thus not permit freedom for those who found a way to predominantly disconnect from the money monger world - and achieve it ((at least to a much higher degree than the average drone worker amongst their owned by debt type masses)).
I love fried banana, banana ice cream, banana smoothie, banana with cocoa, steam banana with palm sugar, cucur banana, banana with cheese. The leaves I can use for nasi lemak, tapai, burasak, nasi dagang, the flower I can steam, mix with raw coconut flesh and eat with tamarind sauce. This is multi talented superfood.
I live in a cold climate in America, and l grow bananas plant but for short period because of winter. I only use the leaves to wraps up and cook my natives food. I will like to know how l can use other parts of bananas for food?
@@queengacha6130 there's a many receipe especially the banana itself and also the flower. U can google or youtube it. The most simple is "cucur pisang" u should try it! 😃👌👍
What a great show Jon. I live in New Zealand but I’m going to still try and grow bananas indoors and also outside. They are so good for us and so many people are now scared to eat them, it’s so sad. What a great video I’m going to save it for reference. Thank you.
Yaah.. Mr.Jon..! your system is very right ..and a african cut the bottom root side made 35 grm piece 24 nos and he...layed its sprouting the mother one he ha s cut and showed me
Jon,this is quite informative.Kindly clarify if bananas are Healthy for cows being milked. I have of stories that they do not add any nutritional value
Who else is watching this video, listening to Jon, and saying: "Wow. Wow! WOW!!!" I always enjoy Jon's videos and knowledge, but THIS video just blows me away! The BEAUTIFUL Banana plant! Who'da thunk it!!! Peace
After fruiting the main plant is cut down. This makes a lot of waste. What is the most practical method to handle this waste. We dont have much space for compost heap. And takes up valueable space which i could use to grow other foods. Any hints or tips. This is my first experience in tropical area and banana is new for us.

Someone suggested lots of water needed for 🍌🍌🍌🍌trees!??
Your advice is water not needed 2 to 3wks for 🍌🍌 trees..
What he said is that the banana once planted deep can go with out water for that period or more until it gets water. In other words it can take some strain. However bananas do like alot of water and will grow nicely with lots of water.

Thank you for giving us more knowledge. God bless you Sir
Thanks, very useful information
jai aimé la video, tres intructive et simple a comprendre.
Wow, thanks so much for this wonderful channel! You provide so much knowledge for aspiring tropical farmers like me. I can watch your videos all day.
Thanks for sharing, especially in this days people all depends on money to buy rather than growing. Knowledge more powerful than money.
Bananas are my favourite fruit. We eat them everyday of the week at breakfast time. Delicious.
I love my apple bananas with homemade peanut butter!

You are really a great teacher.
Dried ripe banana is the best. My late father was a farmer and he used to sun-dry ripe bananas. Comparable to sundried dates.
@thomas samson we could not find that out because they're usually gone in 2 days, they were delicious!
@thomas samson make thin slices, leave under the sun, find a way to keep away flies.
@@rodels.3745 hahahaha
Very good explanation, thank you Jon
Banana and coconut are two of the most perfectly designed plants for nurturing human beings. Can't wait to grow my own! 😋
and watermelon and sweet potato as well!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I learn something today about bananas. 😀

Yes, I agreed. Banana is one of the most useful plants like coconut. In Laos, farmers use the stem to feed the pigs, mix with rice husk and corn.
I dont even have a garden but I love watching your videos. They are so pure and inspirational and they are full of good information. Keep it up

Great video as always. Just one question, What other crops can interplant with bananas?
All kinds of tree are good to grow with banana. We grow mango coconut avocado and many things. They love banana.
It never cross my mind to grow tree in between the banana bunch. But this is brilliant ideas. The plant surely survive on the water the banana has in its root or stem. Now i need more banana everywhere
good info' enjoy your land.
Amazing thank you teacher. I need to grow more bananas at my homestead.
You are right.. Bananas grow well in Asian soil... It's sweet tasty n fragrant.. Bananas are a popular consumption in every household

If you shop it very thin you can feed chicken cow pig or make compost . If you shop it very thin it will decompost in 1 month.
