When do bananas ripen?

According to Southern Herbals, there are three types of bananas: the best is the horn banana, which has the smallest fruit, followed by the milk banana, and the largest and worst is the square banana. The harvest period is from August to November.

In the south, in parts of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan, plantains and bananas are available all year round, especially in Hainan. Bananas are generally planted on a large scale and managed specifically, so their ripening period is relatively concentrated, mainly from the ninth month to the first month of the lunar calendar, and less so at other times. Plantains are slightly more cold-resistant than bananas, and are mostly planted in scattered, small-scale areas, so their ripening period is relatively scattered. If they are planted on a large scale, their ripening period is similar to that of bananas.

Although it is the ripening period, bananas are generally not left to ripen naturally on the tree. Instead, they are artificially ripened after being cut down when the fruits are full.
