Banana down

Didn’t see this comming, kids could of tried picking but think it just fell over. Fruit is about a foot off ground. Would really like to get these to be edible. Should I wrap a bag around them or is it over? Btw do they still look like Orinoco?
Never mind photos disappear after loading. Ugh

Sometimes u can get away with it. putting bags over it just helps the banana mature due to ethylene gas build-up and is a pest repellent.
50-50 in my mind.
good lucck

Al long as the flower stem inside still has connection it will still ripen on the plant. Support the weight of the bunch and do not move it around and do further damage. You cannot fix this, only make it worse. If the flower stalk is completely severed, then cut the bunch off and hang it up and see what happens. If they have been hanging for 4 months or so, good chance they will surprise you.

Maybe try and post a picture again so we can see what it is. Like what was stated if it’s got atleast 4months should be good. Don’t remember exactly but I have had D. Orinoco fruit late and D. Namwah and hung inside during cold winter and they ripened. Hey man did you get my PM?
