man….. just no words…positive thoughts your way…..man…..
Wish you the best, hope everything works out for you.
Sam sorry to see this I lost three and I was upset I can't imagine what you going through
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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's awful! I hope that you have at least someone to help you with the clean-up.
Sorry to see that, Sam. I know you'll be chopping banana plants for a long time. At least they'll regenerate.
It’s hard but god will put you back on your feet. Just have a little faith.god bless you sorry.
Amen
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.
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!
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!
I am keen to figure out which method of pruning pre-storms works best. I am a banana farmer in the Caribbean, and my farm sits at 1000' on the side of my islands highest rainforest mountain. Glad to hear your method worked well, and I hope your family and home are OK after those 2 storms. We had Irma and Maria, both cat 5's, 2 weeks apart in 2017. Thankfully I didn't have my farm then. I really don't think there's a good way to prepare for such calamities, aside from prayers.
@@stjbananas thank you! yeah I remember that year seeing the devastation from those storms, it was heart-breaking. Doubt anything would help with those storms, but in my specific case we went through Helene, then milton. In my area helene brought steady 40mph plus gusts up to 60mps for hours basically all day- this pushed over our young mangos and snapped all fruiting bananas but one. Milton was stronger by about 15mph so we had steady 50-60mph and gusts to about 70mph also for something like 6 hours. However after pruning we did not lose a single pruned banana tree to milton, and after cutting/shortening the leaves on my mangos they also did not blow over. It worked surprisingly well so I would say the next time a storm is coming I'll be pruning my bananas again. Our veg garden was toast though except for pruned pepper plants which will take forever to grow a new flush of leaves.
Hey Sam. The main thing is that you're okay.
Amen
Oh, boy. Looks like you've got your work cut out for you.
Gosh, sorry to see the damage to your trees. Didn’t you get hit last year?
Did you inherit a flag pole? Racks of bananas everywhere
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.
