Hey you guys Tiffany here and welcome to our organic life so recently we shared in our vlog us transplanting these actual banana trees and I thought it'd be a really cool opportunity to share how to properly dig up transplant and divide banana trees because as you can see here there's a whole bunch of banana trees that was originally three bananas and the way that banana trees grow is they send up new baby shoots all the time and they are called pups so you take and you're basically going to cut away the pups once they get established enough to have their own roots and then you're gonna plant those I'm gonna go ahead and show you how to do that right now. Alright so I'm gonna come in first with my rice knife and I'm gonna just kind of help clear away some of this on the underside so I can clearly see what I'm cutting and you don't have to do this but this just helps me do this more efficiently. Alright so now I'm gonna take shovel and I'm gonna start going around start loosening, tighten that and then I'm gonna take right in between here I'm just gonna send this in and start separating it from the parent tree. It's a little bit of working on it. You're basically just gonna cut it away from the parent. We're gonna work it to it. There we go now we're starting to separate it. There we go. There we go now awesome and we just separated it out and you can kind of see where it's got its own roots that it's starting to sun down so we're gonna go ahead and get this transplanted to its new home. We've got our banana pup here now and I started digging the hole. You don't want to dig it too deep but you do want to dig it just a little bit past where the base of the root ball is gonna be so that it has some loose weld past through and a little bit bigger as well. Usually I think real thumb is the hole needs to be twice the size of the plant that you have of the root ball that you're putting into it. Now you want to dig it to where pretty much you can see what the old soil level was. You want to have that be level with the area that it's gonna be. Let's go. We're gonna start pulling this in. Probably want to come through and just give it water just to help it get set back in and going and then there you have it.
