How to remove buds from bananas with simple tips

Banana trees are one-time fruit-bearing trees. Under conditions of sufficient fertilizer and water, the underground bulbs have the characteristic of continuously producing and sucking buds. Therefore, when cultivating banana trees, you must select the most suitable bulbs from the mother plant. The sucking buds are used as the mother plant for the next generation, which is called retaining buds, and the removal of excess sucking buds is called bud removal.

Introduction to the types of banana buds

1. First buds are also called meridian buds and positive buds, which are the first sucking buds taken out by the growing mother plant. Most of them grow out in the spring at the opposite end of the mother plant and the remaining stems that have harvested fruits. They are in a deep position and are closely related to the mother plant. They have a great impact on the mother plant and are not left to replace the mother plant.

2. Secondary buds are also called side buds, corner buds, and splayed buds. They are the second buds that grow on both sides of the mother plant. They are shallow in position, have less impact on the mother plant, and grow faster than the first buds. The buds grow quickly, so use them to replace the mother plant.

3. Three-way buds and four-way buds are respectively the third and fourth buds that are taken out after the second-way buds grow. These buds have shallow root systems, grow slowly and weakly, and cannot be used if they are not used. as breeding material.

4. Geshanfei, also known as "mother bud", is the bud that sprouts from the old head of the stump. It grows slowly and is used for autumn planting seedlings.
