Default Re: Deflowering bananas.

I found this paper on bunch pruning that might be useful:

http://www.m.elewa.org/JABS/2010/33/11.pdf

How are the immature bananas pruned? Are they broken off or cut from the little pad/platform or are they cut off altogether with the pad like how a hand is separated from the bunch? Thanks!

Update: Just viewed Nick's video and see that he just breaks off the whole banana by hand.
