When to harvest?
Hey guys I’m wondering when to harvest these bananas. Pretty sure it’s a dwarf cavendish variety. None have turned yellow yet, but they have brown spots and some have split open. What do you think?

Re: When to harvest?
My tastes are usually more toward the letting them start to yellow on the rack, then cutting off just a hand at a time.
with a pruning sheers do a V cut one cut each side of hand and they come off complete pretty easily. top to bottom if thats not obvious. When I have excess racks ripening at the same time I just harvest the whole rack when the first hand is mostly yellow to save on time with harvests.

Re: When to harvest?
Is it common for a few of the bananas to split open? What causes that to happen?

Re: When to harvest?
I think that bananas do that that when they are almost ripe. It is common. Good looking bunch!!
