Babaco, baby!

Obviously I have a bit of work to do to stain the fence, but soon enough that stick you can barely make out in the middle of this bed will be supplying an abundance of delicious babaco fruit.

We got this cutting from Heather, a pétanque friend, who has a gorgeous backyard garden.

And then, just by chance because now we know what they look like, we saw an older one on a path we walk often. I hope ours grows a few more leaves, however.
