Default Re: My Mystery Busy Bee Banana

Water the plant every day. So the fruits can grow a little bit faster, while the temperature is not below 14 °C. When you have 7 or 8 hands cut the blossom. So the force goes into the fruit and not into the blossom. After the fruits have reached approx. average of 7.5 or 8 inch cut the whole bunch and cut the hand into clusters of 3 to 6 fruits. Wash them with clear water (Latex) and then put every 2 days a cluster into a plastic bag of a supermarket together with one or two apples. You will be surprise how fast they will be ripening. In tropical conditions (my ex office in Ecuador had 28 °C and 70 % rel. hum. it took 25 days to ripen a box with green bananas. 3 bananas in a plastic bag with 2 apples I could eat after 4 to 6 days.
