It's easier to break them off cleanly when they are young and newly emerged from the bracts. When they get a little older you are better off using a pruner or a knife.

How are the immature bananas pruned? Are they broken off or cut from the little pad/platform or are they cut off altogether with the pad like how a hand is separated from the bunch? Thanks!
Update: Just viewed Nick's video and see that he just breaks off the whole banana by hand. |
