Re: Red Bananas
They will change color slightly, to a lighter red, if ripening even with some yellow too. However, you can harvest bananas at nearly any stage and they will ripen. If the fruits look full and plump, they should be fine to harvest. All things being equal, it's better to harvest bananas when they are mature but still unripe, rather than waiting for fruit to start ripening on the plant.
