I've cut much smaller bananas than that and had them ripen up great. Congrats again, Bob! I bet you're the talk of the town. lol

Congratulations for your first bunch Bob!!!

They appear plump enough to make nice bananas when they ripen!

My IC is just a few leaves behind Ante's so i also hope for next year maybe,if it survives the winter!

It worked!!!!
The first one's started changing color yesterday but I wasn't quite sure if they were really ripening. Today I'm sure I'll be eating my first homegrown Ice Cream banana tomorrow!




It took me a while to post this since I have been doing the banana happy dance all afternoon!

Funny, just yesterday we pm'd saying some look like they're getting lighter and now I have one that's almost all yellow. I'm tasting in 2-3 days!! (also doing happy dance LOL) Your bunch looks better than mine... I have some brown spots - like a bird pecked on some while outside yet.

Is that plant indoors or outdoors? How tall is the ceiling if it is indoors?

tbaleno, ours were both outside --his inground & mine in pot. We cut the bunch off plant cuz of frost coming, so they can ripen inside.

Congrats, Bob! My IC's are still on the plant but may not be for much longer. They are still quite small.

Thanks Brent, mine are about half the optimal size but I'm still pretty happy with them . You should be too! I'll be tasting the first one tonight.
