Default Re: My Namwah Tall and Kandrian!

Thank you very much for the information and advise!

I think this particular finger has split slightly. I will be bringing it down tomorrow to taste it! The bunch is definitely filled out and I will bring a few more down for tostones but I wondered if I could leave it on another month or if they would go yellow before that. I only get there once a month so I can only harvest now or in a month again. Or I could harvest the top half now and leave the bottom half for a month latter?

Here is a photo of the bunch from August:


I will be taking and posting a current photo of it tomorrow,everything is far more filled out and the bunch seems heavier!

For bringing the bananas down,I plan to suspend a cloth below and cut the bananas individually to fall on it as I don't want to cut the pseudostem nor male flowers,I want to leave them end on their own and the pseudostem disintegrate on its own. The pups seem ready for flowering next year and look like they will be getting bigger than the motherplant!

Thank you very much in advance
