banana fingers splitting
does anyone know what would cause plumped out fingers to split vertically and subsequently rot prior to ripening?

Re: banana fingers splitting
Depends on the variety, some do that because thin skins. Others could be because of growing too fast and/or too much water (???). So it would be best to pick the bunch once they are filled out and ripen on the counter.
Post a picture of the bunch.

Re: banana fingers splitting
this is normal for mature fruit, some varieties do it more easily than others. The cure is to harvest earlier.

Re: banana fingers splitting
I've noticed with plantains it is more of a problem with heavy rain saturating the soil in hot conditions. But as was pointed out elsewhere, the cure is to harvest earlier.
