Re: Removing Bloom Flower
Depending on the state of the plant at flowering I may take the male bud and some of the fruit. Sometimes I will get a plant that shoots that only has 4 functioning leaves and frankly 4 functioning leaves are never gonna fill out ten hands. Bananas just don't have the mechanism to abort fruits like other plants do when conditions are poor. I have zero evidence to support that theory but it seems to apply to other fruits and vegetables. I think my avocados must have aborted hundreds of fruits as the drought this spring drug on.
