Ok IMHO the ones in the bag ripened "prettier" than the counter ones but NO EARLIER and maybe a day or two later. I think this happened because the counter area I choose is a bit busy and the unbagged ones kept getting moved around. Obviously my result spit in the eye of science and past results. I guess what I am saying is that the only thing I figured out is if you bump your banana too much it might get bruised up. Maybe next year I'll have more bananas to play with.

On another note I finally on November 28th picked two RIPE bananas off the Orinoco that bloomed June 1st, 2011. Maybe it was the excitement but I felt they were better than the ones that I picked early. I also realized that they were still growing when I picked my first ones off that bunch. I'll know better next year. I stilll have a few left on the tree. I'll do a final report when I pick them.
