Re: Problems with Cooking Blue Java Bananas?
Sorry,
I was not clear on this. They are ripe. I harvested the entire bunch when a green banana split open. The first hand ripened in a couple of days after cutting the bunch off.

Re: please help!
You may want to consider if the tree is getting more sun than it was use to. Since it is such a new tree and I assume small it may take a while to accustom to a new location.

What is the consensus for determining the height of banana plants. Is it the height of the Pseudostem or the height of the tallest leaf?
