Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
Nick, how big are those fingers on average, the weight per finger?

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
Thanks Nick. For some reason I thought they were supposed to get bigger, more like Cavendish size, but the ones I've seen have been around that 100 g mark that you mention.

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
The bunches tend to be very conical. The top 2-3 hands produce fingers in the 150g range.

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
I harvested the second bunch on my first Namwa mat.
First hand appeared 12/10/13 and harvest was today 4/10/14. The hardest part is hanging the bunch. I have no helper so I have to hold the bunch up and at the same time tie it to a post. Last edited by JCA433 : 04-10-2014 at 04:22 PM. |

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
What to do with banana stem and leaves after harvesting? Do you chip this material or let it dry out? I have a chipper but concerned the high moisture content in banana plant material may clog the chute and make a mess.

I can't speak for what will happen to your chipper because I don't have one. For me, I break down the plant material into individual sheathes and then run over it with my lawn more with the clippings bag attached. I know that's way redneck, but it makes great mulch that breaks down easy. So far no ill effects on the mower. |

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
This is supposed to be Ebun Musak, my first bunch off this plant. From Aloha Tropicals. This is supposed to be the type that is green when ripe. Plant looks like a DB, mostly yellow fruit tastes like an underripe DB--certainly not ripe when green. Bunch size and appearance like my DBs. Same height as DB and same 6 month flower to harvest. Hmmm, I wonder what it could really be? Another Aloha Tropicals FAIL. Well 1 out of 11 ain't bad! Will probably kill this one off since I already have more DB than anything else.
