Re: Is it good to cover banana flower?
A tricky one this. I have not heard of bananas being damaged by rain, and we have 4.5inches in 12 hours on occasion, with constant high humidity. My worry would be that lack of air circulation and damp conditions inside a plastic bag could cause more problems. If you were really worried about the rain - perhaps an umbrella or something to let the air circulate while keeping the flower dryish. The commercial growers here cover the bunch when fully formed to prevent the fruit from being marked, but the hot sun ensures that there is no moisture inside the bag. Hope this helps, Asacomm.
