Will Banana trees burn?

About 3 weeks ago, I cut down my banana trees (about 6-8 inch diameter at the trunk). I'm letting them dry out, but was curious if they'll burn in a pile?

Once you have them it is almost impossible to get rid of them...

Dry? I don't see why not. Hell, I've seen green grass burn.

This and no, they will not burn. They will rot out first before drying out.

I don't know if you want to burn something that smells so horrible.

Beyter off chopping them up and putting in your neighbors yard. If you want them gone, get a shovel. You are gonna have to dig every single bit of root out, or they'll just be back in 2 months

Thanks everybody. No I like the trees, I just cut them every winter. They really grew thick this past summer so I have a full pickup bed's worth of trees cut down. Oh well, guess I'll have more work to do.

I have a bunch of banana trees too. Never seen a banana on them.

Really? I had 3 bunches of bananas on one of the ones I cut down. They're not sweet like store bought bananas though.

This technique will burn anything.

In the South, it usually takes 10-15 yrs for banana trees to 'fruit'. Usually they're smaller than normal and a little bitter. Just take a machete,cut'em off about 6in from the ground and wait. They're really not that difficult to manage. Landscaped about about 15yrs...I know

don't know about that...I once poured a gallon of Muriatic Acid on a Banana tree I cut down that kept sprouting up...zip, none, nada, no effect at all...even bored 10-15 1" holes 18" deep in to it before pouring the acid...
