Tricks to help fruit
I have been growing bananas for a long time, but this year is different. I have five bunches hanging and three w a great chance to ripen. We won’t get frost until normally December if that. Trying to ripen bananas is completely new to me and I have not looked into this because never really had a chance. The three I think can make it bloomed in June. The fruit has not changed
Size in atleast a month. Should I expose fruit to sun? If so should I not cut leaves on fruiting stalk and just the other stems? Any tricks I can do to get a chance at trying some home grown bananas? Thanks |

Re: Tricks to help fruit
All green leaves on the fruiting plant help to fill the fruit. Pics would help. I don't think it matters to have the fruit exposed to sun........

Re: Tricks to help fruit
Leave them on the plant until there is a risk of them being damaged by frost or freeze. Then pick them. Bunches that flowered in June should be ripe in December. Cool temps may inhibit ripening, but they will be mature and can ripen in the house.
