Bananas are coming along nicely… I’ve asked an extension agent, master gardener and he said that once the first bananas turn ripe, I can pick all of them from the tree, and put them in a cool place, eat them off the bunch as I wish.
“When the top hand starts to turn yellow cut the whole stalk and hang it somewhere in the shade to use as they ripen. You can cut off the bloom stem end portion when the flowers stop setting bananas. ” – Tom Maccubbin, Extension Agent Emeritus
