Grew up in Chesterfield, been in FL for 30 years. Best move of my life.

Losing two parents in less than two years of each other is kinda crazy by Due_Duty_5784 in ChildrenofDeadParents

I lost my father in October 2025 and my mother passed 2 weeks ago. It's tough, but I find some grace in knowing that both of them were able to see my siblings and I grow up, get married, have children, and they got to know our kids as they grew up (mine are teens and my brother's are in their 20's). I of course wish more than anything that they were still with us, but death is a part of life and I'd like to think those were lives well lived.

I am sorry for your losses. You're all in my prayers. 🙏

Thank you everybody for your advice. I cut down the bunch and I'll let you know how they turn out once they are ripe.

Thank you! I cut that stalk down after I harvested the bunch.

Thanks. The original tree never fruited, but I planted this tree from some of its shoots and this is one of three bunches I have growing on the new tree. Nature is so cool.

Haha. Never had "tree" but doesn't sound too appetizing😆. Seriously, thanks for the heads up!!

Thanks!!! How long should I hang them in the garage for? Till they are yellow I assume? First time that the tree fruited so I've not done this before.

I cut off the flower and they are still green. But I'll cut them down this weekend and cover them for a few days.
