    Now you can cut the stalk off just above the purple "hoods", as there are no more fruit to develop. What you see now when the "hoods" fall off are false fruit and flowers.
    Removing the "bud" will allow more energy to the developing fruit.

    Just don't get the "milk" from the cut area get on your clothing , or else it will leave a brown stain which in not removable.

    Now comes the WAITING. When you see the fruit start to turn yellow and the skin on one or more of the fruit starting to split, it is time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

    Is this the plant next to the house, or out in the yard?????

    It’s the one next to house. Originally the small one of the two.

    The one I planted by the sea wall died with the one bad frost we had but it’s small shoot it had is growing so there’s still one alive there.

    How do you know when to pick them?
    What variety?
    Super Cool!
    I like the finger bananas, I get from an Asian market.

    They are the Flycaster variety cause I got them from member Flycaster. But my cook island buddy called them ladies fingers for what that’s worth. And I remember Flycaster saying to cut them green and let them turn yellow in a cool dry place. That first one was sweet and creamy. Real good. Prolly a shade green still. Coulda waited one more day. We will see as these others get ripe. Yum yum

    wait until the skin starts to split lengthwise, skin will get thinner. STILL YUM, YUM
    They are a cavandish variety banana, smaller than the "DOLE" variety in the stores.
    CAN'T beat a home grown fruit.

    Was out in the banana field trying to clean up some of the dead leaves.
    Found this hanging, when fully developed it will probably reach the ground. I have placed a 5 foot section of pvc pipe to support it. Where the stalk comes from the main plant is only 5 feet above the ground.


    Also saw signs of another bud forming. This makes a total of 6 bunches "so-far" We will need a real mild winter in order for those to mature.

    SLAB----- Keep those monkeys over there in the county park and not let them come any farther south.
    I hope that all of your bananas were as tasty as mine have been.
