Re: Why do hands stop developping further down the bunch?
Interestingly, there is another issue/factor at work, which might be able to be manipulated. I have seen a few flower stalks here the female phase flowers give way to male flowers, but after a while more female bananas appear before the flowers return to male. The second wave bananas are usually small, but it makes me wonder what is at work (environmental factors? Weather factors, etc.) when this happens, and if it can be manipulated. I have to believe if it was possible, Chiquita, etc. would be exploiting it, but I can help wondering.
