Default Re: Can bananas ripen if picked at 3 months old?

Most banana cultivars are highly climacteric. They will ripen even if picked immature and stored in enclosed containers together with a ripe banana. Bananas that are picked immature and are ripened will not be as sweet or as good tasting as the plump bananas or tree-ripened bananas. Most immature bananas that are ripened would taste bland.
