Harvesting my banana (pisang berangan) fruits

This is taken this morning. Where I manage to harvest my yellowing banana (pisang berangan) fruits just in time. It is still safe from birds and others. After notice one of it turn slightly yellow last Sunday morning. The inflorescence (jantung) banana (pisang berangan) start coming out last 9 February 2022 [1]. Basically it took 3 months and 22 days or 112 days for the banana (pisang berangan) fruits to be ready for harvest.

Weight of one of the banana (pisang berangan) fruit 208 gm.

Weight of the skin to banana (pisang berangan) fruit 59 gm. Basically net weight of flesh banana (pisang berangan) fruit is 149 gm.
The circumference is 15.7 cm.

The harvested banana (pisang berangan) fruits. Total 5 bunch (sisir/sikat).

Back length to one of banana (pisang berangan) fruit is 19.3 cm.
Circumference to one of banana (pisang berangan) fruit is 14.7 cm.
Documenting the weight of total banana fruits, quantity of banana fruits, measurement of the banana fruits size does helps me to know the progress of the harvest and condition of planted banana tree. Whether to keep with the current practice of fertilizing and care. Or need to change or upgrade to different and other fertilizer and care. Just part of my effort to know what is the best for my banana trees. 
It does feel nice to be able to harvest banana (pisang berangan) fruits on time. With such size, weight and lovely look. A small yet satisfying achievement for my gardening works and hands on experiment at home. This is second generation of planted banana (pisang berangan) tree at home. The first generation started to bear fruits last 19 March 2021 [2]. Did not have information of the banana (pisang berangan) fruit weight as I sold entire bunch/stalk (tandan) to my customer.
Other data for comparison :
1. Weight of 1 unit banana (pisang berangan) fruit planted by my colleague = 109 gm last 17 April 2019 [3] 
2. Weight of 1 unit banana (pisang berangan) fruit planted by my colleague = 102 gm last 25 April 2019 [4]
3. Weight of 1 unit banana (pisang berangan) fruit planted by my colleague = 106 gm last 11 October 2019 [5]
This is from same offspring. However, all 3 above is planted in other place with different caretaker/gardener and different care techniques. At least the data can still be used for comparison purpose.

Till then, be safe while harvesting your planted banana (pisang berangan) fruits at home.
