No. You can dig suckers at any time once the plant is established and has at least a couple suckers. Just be careful taking suckers around a stem that is fruiting as you can potentially destabilize it and it make more prone to falling over...
As far as usage is concerned in my experience I have substituted green bananas for irish potatoes in a vast array of recipes quite successfully. Green banana potato salad, homefries, french fries, in soup or stew, mashed, fritters, in place of pasta, etc. (I make all the same with breadfruit) Different varieties of banana, and of course different ripeness levels, have vastly different textures, flavors, etc. My favorite banana for cooking is actually dwarf cavendish because of it cooks quickly, is more moist, and texture and taste very similar to irish potato. I boil in peel with ends cut off and some oil in the water. Green bananas are high in "resistant starch" which is supposed to help feed a healthy gut biome.
I hear the little coqui 🐸❤️I love PR!
I’d like to hear more on the topics covered in the class. I am in Puerto Rico so we have extremely similar staples and climate
How do u grow one from scratch, can we use the seed and if so how...no one has a video on how to start with seeds to plant and grow...
That Huge pele plant on the side looks amazing... I havn't seen them grow that big looking like a mature tree.
Hi, can't i use ripe plantain it self and replant. Since i can't find the root here
Coqui sound is peaceful.
What's best moon for planting bananas ?
When i heard the coqui i subscribed lol
So you need to wait for he parent tree to fall over or fruit before you take the suckers?
No. You can dig suckers at any time once the plant is established and has at least a couple suckers. Just be careful taking suckers around a stem that is fruiting as you can potentially destabilize it and it make more prone to falling over...
Can you plant plantain tree with plantain seeds ?
Yeah, but the new plant might be full of seeds.
Most varieties of banana and plantain are seedless and must be propagated vegetatively, using suckers as shown in the video.
Thank you
I hear coquis!!
The coquis got to Hawaii hidden on boats and agriculture from Puerto Rico when Boricuas went to Hawaii to work in the sugar cane fields.
Thank you !
Awesome
Green bananas n plantains are much more starchy than a potato. Breadfruit is more like a potato.
