Got my homework, now the next bunch needs to ripen. I did have a similar banana from my neighbor that was entirely yellow, separated easily from the hand, and was astringent with texture so nasty I gave it to the dogs. They liked it! His plants are green, mine have a lot of mauve. I'd still be scarred if the fruit on my pretty bananas was that, um, rough!
