Re: Dole - How do bananas grow?
Thats pretty sweet.
Harvest 6 days a week, Must be a lot of nanners. I would think they are removing pups as often too. I want to work there. Why don't all plantains work with dwarfs? Thanks for posting ps. Those weren't seedlings

Re: Dole - How do bananas grow?
They probably don't plant dwarfs because of disease resistance, fruit quality and fruit size.

Re: Dole - How do bananas grow?
Thanks for the video link! I enjoyed watching it.
I've driven by that Dole plant before and I've seen those huge fields of bananas with each bunch covered in a blue bag. Unfortunately I've heard that those bags litter the forest and beaches on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica.

Re: Dole - How do bananas grow?
I would think not one bit of that foam gets re-used yet alone the bags. What a waste!
Yeah right - "seedlings". Why would they say and then show something that isn't true? |
