Williams harvest
 

Not bad, not bad :)

Fingers on these were just slightly smaller than typical grocery store bananas. Delicious, too!

Jarred, that is a very instructive picture! I like how it shows the ripeness of the fruit at harvest time. Also, the versatility of ironwork for supporting the cutting. I just might install some of those.

Thanks! I have several of those hanging around here and a few still that need to be hung! They add a nice touch.

I actually cut the bunch off the plant while they were still green and they have been in that spot to ripen for maybe two weeks. We're eating the lower ones now, they are delicious!
I probably could have left these on the plant a little longer but we had some bad weather lately and the plant was very raggedy looking - so it was chopped!

Jarred those look great! Lucky you!

Re: Williams harvest
 

But t appeared that it was hanging upside down. Is there any advantage?
I have the preconceive idea that it should be hanging the way it was harvested.
When I harvested my California gold I had a hard time looking for a place to hang the bunch into. Now I know.

Re: Williams harvest
 

mmm.... looks good!

Re: Williams harvest
 

Benny - In my experience they always ripen better when hung upside down after cutting. Does anyone know any different?

I find this way easier for these hangers, that's all.
Perhaps it does do something with the pressure and gravity and the internal fluid movements. This way makes it easier to tie a rope to the raceme or wedge in the hanger as such. It was wedged like that for a couple weeks actually.

Congrats... Nice Harvest!!!
