not really, a stem does so only once, as long as new ones grow from the rhizome the tree* will keep on feeding you.

source: have a dozen banana trees* in our yard.

*it's not a tree (it's technically a herb).

Sure but you kill the "tree" when you harvest it.

The only thing from my trees that will fruit year round is coconuts, and that's really more of a flavoring than a food. We give it to the ducks though and they like it.

HOOOOOOL up here. You feed coconuts...to ducks? How does that work??

For some reason, I'm imagining a man dressed as a medieval knight followed by a man clapping coconut husks.

I guess I now know where the interior fruit went to, and why it is so notoriously slippery.

It gets grated and mixed with the corn.
