Banana tree snapped

[JackfruitChan2]

My banana tree snapped
Both the pseudostem and the peduncle snapped. The tree was leaning heavily for the past month, so I bought some stakes from Home Depot and propped it up last week. However, the part of the tree around a foot and a half above the support kept bending down, and today it finally gave out, and as that snapped, the curved peduncle also snapped under the weight of the fruit. What can I do next time to prevent this? Also there was no signs of ripening in the fruit, so do yall have recipe suggestions for unripe bananas?

To ease up on the weight after the flowers turn to fruit I lop off the bulbous end of unopened flowers. I use a 1x4 with a V notch cut into it to support the fruit. If the plant leans I either tie it to another tree or fence or prop it up with a 1x2. I never had one break.

If the bananas won't ripen, I believe you can use unripe bananas like plantains.

I did the same. I guess the bananas just got too heavy

For unripe fruits that you want to ripen quickly, you can put them in a sealed box and put the jar in for about 1-2 days. Your bananas will ripen and taste delicious. This is a little tip from our hometown.
