Thanks for the replies.

It’s funny you link that article and that you are the one who wrote it because myself and a guy here where I work are both VERY new at growing bananas and a couple of months ago he found that very article.

I do however have some more specific questions for you if you don’t mind.

I read somewhere, and for the life of me I cannot remember where, that after the males start showing and you cut off the bloom so that the plant will go back to maturing the fruit instead of concentrating on reproduction, that you can put a clear blue plastic bag on the bananas with a hole at the bottom of it so that any moister in the bag can drain and this causes like a greenhouse effect to help speed up the ageing of the bananas. But over the weekend I went to a few local nurseries, one of which was Arbor Gate in Tomball, and none of them knew what I was talking about. I was just wondering if you had heard of this before.

Thanks,
