Banana Bunch Cover Bag Blue / Silver

The reason for the blue plastic colour is to help farms to identify when the fruit was bagged. They will use multiple colours as the point of difference to catalogue the bagging. The half silver reflects heat – make sure the silver side faces the sun. The bag is open at the top and bottom – simply tie the bag at the top and is leave the bag open at the bottom – giving better air-flow and should hang below the last hand of fruit.

When the bananas start to turn upwards, use a bunch cover to protect it from birds and fruit bats – as the flying foxes will climb over the bunch to get to the flower which contains the nectar they love. Best not to leave ripe fruit on the tree because that will drive the bats crazy and they will destroy the bunch!

Covers Aid with Ripening

The use of a fruit bunch cover can improve the quality of the fruit and often increase the yield.  Usually it will reduce the ripening time. The ripening fruit gives off a gas that in turn speeds up the ripening of remaining fruit. It is also the main thing that attracts the pests – if you bag the fruit, the gas is not attracting bats etc – ie. your fruit has a much better chance of staying safe!

Flat measurement of the bag is 1220mm x 720mm.

There are 2 main methods to ripening the fruit;

Tree ripening the fruit will give a beautiful sweet tastes, so only take a few at a time while the others ripen.

Commercial growers harvest while the lowest fruit is rounded but still green. Ripen by keeping them in a cool, dry place with other ripe bananas.
