Bananas

We arrived at our home in Florida and were greeted to a display of fruit from our trees that demanded immediate attention. Five bunches of this small variety ,apple bananas were in need of attention. Bananas only bring one crop to the table and when the fruit, although green in colour,  matures, the tree dies.

The trees do not really die because another tree grows in its place. We had a good crop this year in spite of the fact that they did not benefit from the daily watering. For some reason the water system  did not respond to that zone. Everything else was OK.

We will be eating bananas, having banana milkshakes and banana bread for a while. Ain't nature grand.
