How much would a full grown Red Banana tree with fruit be worth $ Jan 27, 2005 09:52 PM
(Total replies: 2)
Once the banana tree has fruited, the main plant is pau and dies back, so there's really no value in a tree with fruit on it (except for the fruit -- yum!). The value is in the keiki trees that should be growing around the main stem -- usually two or three, between three and four feet tall, which can be very easily transplanted. A healthy keiki banana in a pot goes for around 20 or 30 bucks or more on the Big Island, depending on variety. I don't know about prices elsewhere. My advice is to let the fruit ripen, cut down the main stem (actually, you can push it down) and carefully transplant the keikis for sale. Howard in Waipunalei |
