Time to Harvest?

Re: Time to Harvest?
Never mind on this one. I got a ladder and touched one of the yellow ones. It popped off in my hand.
I also learned a valuable lesson. Do not try to hold the banana bunch by the flower end stem as you cut the bunch off. It broke off and the bunch crashed to the ground smashing all the ripe ones. |
Re: Time to Harvest?
How do they taste ?

Re: Time to Harvest?
Best to cut the bunch when one finger starts to yellow up. It's not like tomatoes. Hang in house and ripen. Keeps the critters away too.

Re: Time to Harvest?
How long did it take for those bananas to ripen? I have Namwah bananas but they are not even two months old yet.

Re: Time to Harvest?
I am also interested in how long they took to ripen. I have a bunch of Namwah's about 2 months old as well.
Thanks |
Re: Time to Harvest?
Agree, cut them when you see the first hint of yellow. The whole bunch ripens pretty fast and nearly, but not completely, simultaneously.
I have several of these and they are all ripening at nearly the same time now. Give some away, but be sure you use some in fruit smoothies! They make very fine banana nut bread too. |

The ones I picked at 3 months took 4 days to ripen and the ones picked at 4.5 months took 4 days to ripen. |
