Bananas!

The excitement never ends!

Our apartment building has some fruit growing from its courtyard trees (these are "potted" in any sense of the word):

The remaining banana tree has begun to sprout the, er, berries. There had been two of these trees growing from the second floor courtyard planters, but after a particularly windy storm last year, one was felled, and had to be chainsawed into pieces.

This remaining tree is actually tied up to the handrail on the third floor, while its leaves reach past the fourth floor.

There was another instance where I found bananas growing, but it was from a tree on 3rd street proper. It was far smaller than this tree, and has since been removed.

If you squint, sometimes it feels like we live in a lush apartment building in Kuala Lumpur or Chieng Mai.

The real question is: will I ever try to eat one of these bananas?
