Hi everyone.

This morning I walked outside and saw my blue Java banana tree with almost mature fruit snapped in half. It’s been leaning a lot as the fruit has grown and I have not staked it up. So it is now snapped in half with the fruit still on it on the ground. The fruit is still firm and has not begun to ripen to a yellow color anywhere on it. Can I leave it like this and will it still mature or what do I do?? I’m so worried this fruit will die before harvesting!

Has this happened to you and if so what did you do??
