We planted a purple banana tree about 4 years and its grown into a 20' tall beauty. Recent heavy rain and wind here in San Francisco has left the tree tilting with the base of tree pulled out of ground. Should we take the tree down, or try to stake it? It's so huge staking seems hopeless.

If you prop it up, this spring new roots will stabilize it. The same thing happened to my Ensete ventricosum 'maurelli' last winter, and this winter it is fine.
They will also come back fast when you chop them back at the top of the stem. |
