Re: What low temperature does a banana fruit bunch stop growing?
The ground will stay much warmer than the air. That being said, I use 14C (57) as base temperature for calculating bunch readiness. It is probably different for different varieties but generally once I hit 1000C growing degree days my bunches are close to ready. Down here a November bunch will be ready in April, while a June Bunch will be ready in September. Of course winters are far more variable temperature wise so I have to keep a closer eye on things than in the summer.
