I seriously doubt if there is a "normal" or "average" bunch size, but maybe comment scan be added
I've recently picked a bunch of lady finger banans - the plant was nearly 8m tall and at least 50cm about a metre off the ground. There are 50 bananas and a couple of tiny baby bananas in that bunch.
Another plant - 3m away is only 4m tall and had about20 banans on the bunch. A further 2m away is a banana about 3.5m tall with over 80 bananas on the bunch.
All bananas came from the same pup source - the second described plant had very little "chook poo tea" - - I collect chicken poo each morning along with some straw from their coop - - and most get a fortnightly-three weekly dose of that mixed with water. The 8m plant was near the coop and had roots under the actual floor of the coop so would have had most of the fertiliser.
So any thoughts???
