Bananas are ready to pick when they look well rounded between the ribs and the little flowers at the end are dry and rub off easily. It is best to cut off the whole stalk of bananas. Hang your stalk of bananas in a shady spot to finish ripening. They usually ripen from the top to the bottom going from green to yellow.

How do you pick out bananas?
Choose some already ripe (yellow with brown spots) for immediate use. Pick bananas that are still slightly but not overly green to use later. Look for bananas that are bright in color, full and plump, avoiding those with bruises. Depressed, moist, and dark areas on the skin usually signal the fruit inside is bruised.
How long do bananas take to ripen?
Best way to ripen bananas naturally:
Depending on how green they are—and where on the banana ripeness spectrum you prefer them—they should take 24 hours to 5 days to ripen.
What do you do after fruit on a banana tree?
After your banana harvest, cut your tree back to about 30 inches and let the stem dry out for two weeks before removing it. Banana stalks only produce fruit once, so it's important to cut them back for new fruit to grow.
When should I cut the flowers off my banana tree?
You may allow the flower stalk to grow or cut it off just below the bunch of developing bananas. Bananas generally take four to six months for fruit to reach full size after flowering, depending on temperature, variety, moisture and culture practices.
Are bananas picked at night?
"Exposure to even moderate light after harvest initiates the ripening process. Therefore the fruits should be protected from light as much as possible until they reach the packing shed." So it seems likely that harvesting bananas at night would be the most effective way of limited their exposure to light.
What month are bananas in season?
The sweet fruit is available from September to December. Banana is considered the “most economically important fruit” in the country since it is one of the locally-produced fruits available throughout the year.
When should bananas be picked?
Bananas are ready to pick when they look well rounded between the ribs and the little flowers at the end are dry and rub off easily. It is best to cut off the whole stalk of bananas. Hang your stalk of bananas in a shady spot to finish ripening. They usually ripen from the top to the bottom going from green to yellow.
Do bananas ripen faster in a bunch or separated?
Bananas do not ripen significantly slower when they're separated. Both times I ran this experiment the bananas that were separated actually ripened faster than the bunch. And, wrapping the stem with plastic wrap didn't seem to change the speed of ripening.
Do bananas ripen faster in the bag?
To make bananas ripen faster, boost the effects of ethylene by enclosing the fruits in a folded paper bag. Extra points if you have other ripe fruit, like apples, you can add to the bag, which also release ethylene.
Why do bananas ripen faster on the counter?
Unless they're in fruit salad or smoothies, bananas don't play nicely with other fruits. This is especially true of fruits that release a lot of ethylene gas as they ripen. ... It prevents bruising and it also decreases the chance of exposing the banana flesh to oxygen, which will only makes it ripen that much faster.
