I see plenty of pics of people holding the whole bunch cut from the plant w maybe just a single yellow banana, but my issue is I have some bananas on bunch that are ripe but others are still clearly developing. I may not get a chance again to have ripe bananas so I don’t wanna screw up. Can I cut single fruits off and not damage the rest of the bunch? Or do I cut the whole bunch off and they will continue to plump/develop? Thanks
Can you just cut off one hand at a time? Some bunches are very tight together which would make this difficult, but it would work with a more open bunch. Also, if you can't reach it, this would be hard to do.
