Nah I was going to tie a big banana bag around some fresh new bananas to keep the flying foxes off.

Cause you know how to pick them, right?!
Just chop the whole grass stem off ๐
Yeah I have the perfect way.
Do 2 slashes on the stem side where you want it to fall towards in the shape of an X. This creates a structural weak spot in the stem.
They you just pull the bunch over & guide it's slow fall to the ground. I've damaged so many bananas just hacking the bunch down too quickly from the back. This way is much more gentle & slow but still easy.
Saw or machete?
I use a sugar cane knife - very similar to a machete.
