long after the flower ends fall off the end of the banana,and the fruit get real big and plump.kinda hard for me to explain cause I can tell just by looking at the fruit..when the banana is real full and plump,cut and bring in to ripen,or u can leave on the tree.on the tree just takes longer to ripen the fruit.also when they change from dark green to just about a light greenish yellow look then they are ready to pick......hope that helps you.....the experts on them mostly replie to ? at night...
