Welcome aboard!

You probably won't need to bag your fruit unless it's outdoors and you have a real problem with small birds or bats that have an affinity for banana fruit. Here in Ecuador, big commercial growers like Dole and Chiquita bag the fruit to avoid its being prematurely eaten by the wildlife and to avoid sunburn on the uppermost hands. It's fairly unlikely that you'll run into these problems....

However, if you are still set on bagging the fruit, the clearish blue plastic bags sold at the grocery store, for recycling or whatnot, are a good substitute to the industrial ones, provided that you perforate them a bit before you cover the fruit.
