Do I have to wait until all of my bananas are yellow before cutting the bunch from the momma? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I live in Orlando and the flower came out the beginning of October. I've been waiting a long time to taste one of my very first home grown bananas. I'm sure the winter slowed things down some.

When the first few fingers have started to yellow up cut down the whole bunch and store it in the house. The tree ratz aka squirrels will devour everything. Only exception is if the mat is in the pool enclosure -- and the doors are closed. Been there, done that!!! I almost lost my first bunch of SH3640 this year cause I didn't check every day.

I noticed today 4 or 5 are more yellow than green. 2 days ago they were all green so this happens pretty quickly I guess. Thank you and I will cut them down tomorrow.
