Banana Jealousy

She really started to branch out laterally and vertically, this week. At the beginning of the week, we topped her apical growth. At the beginning of the week, we also started low-stress training her two thinnest branches low to the trunk, which were the longest. We left the ties like this all week. At the end of the week, we went to readjust the ties, but one branch was pinched unfortunately, and after removing the tie it snapped off under its own weight. So, we decided to chop both sides off at the stem, and continue the process with some of her other branches, being more careful this time.
