An update on our Banana Trees (actually an herb)! We will be harvesting the bunch of bananas that you see in the picture here, with some tasting to take place soon. The second tree just produced a pod for another bunch  to finish out the summer and start the year! We will cut the tree down after we harvest the bananas because it will die anyway. BUT, we have some new sprouts for our next trees (succulent). It takes about 9 months for the trees to grow to this height and produce bananas. How exciting is that! A fun reason to be a Cardinal!
