Default Re: Bunches not ripening

I've seen this before but not sure what the cause is other than heat & drought.


If the banana folds its leaves down due to heat for 12 hrs a day, then the plant is not growing. It will take twice as long for the bunch to grow & fill out. ... For this reason I run sprinklers on my bananas during the heat of the day to ensure plenty of water for evaporation and cooling of the plants.
