Re: Bunch ripening w/o leaves
Commercially you would like to see at least 7 healthy leaves on a plant when you start flowering, at least 10 would be better. At my previous location, I had a lot of problems with black sigatoka and I found that if I had five leaves at flowering one option that I had to fill fruit out was bunch pruning. With 4 remaining leaves you are not going to fill out a 10 hand bunch, but you may fill out a 4-5 hand bunch.
