Keep the bunch intact until the first naner starts yellowing and then you can chop off the bunch and eaaaaaaaaaaaaaat the bananas.

Commercially they would cut the plant down as soon as harvested. Not sure what people around here do, I have yet to get any fruit. And please post some pics.

Someone asked for pictures. I have them in the gallery now. CNEWMAN.
There are currently three bunches. I also have a photo of the stand of trees as well as a s stand of red fruited bananas. So far the red frutied ones have not yet bloomed this year.

As far as harvest, Jack Daw is right on target (when the first nanner starts to yellow). Sure would Luv to know what species of Red Fruited nanners you're growing. Saw your pic & those are awesome nanner plants!
BTW, what's your zone or general location?

I'm in Tampa, Fl. The red banana plants have burgandy/green on top of the leaves and the underneath is burgandy/merlot. They are really beautiful plants. The bananas however, are small and hard. They do not seem to have a food value.

The fruit in the picture are not nearly ready to harvest as they are still angular - my fastest take about 4 months from the appearance of the first fruit - but others take longer. If you are in a cold climate and need to take them in before the frost etc - then when they plump up and become rounded is the earliest time. Otherwise wait until the first finger starts to turn yellow for the best flavour.
