How many bananas are you losing to splitting? Less than 44 I bet. You are probably losing a greater yield by removing the fingers on the end than just throwing out the split ones. I'm obviously the least commercial banana farmer in the world, but I thought you just pruned off the smaller fruit from the bottom of the bunch.

Very interesting the difference between growing in hydro and storing in water Keith. What about the sudden change in osmotic pressure when dry soil suddenly becomes soaked from rain? Are you saying you think his nanners are splitting bc he sprays them, or are you just chalking it up to genetics?
