Banana Fruit Bunch Cover Blue Bag
Protect your banana bunches with these premium quality Australian-made Banana Fruit Bunch Cover Blue Bags. These UV-stabilised covers help protect fruit from weather, pests, and physical damage while promoting cleaner, higher-quality bunches.
Important: Face the silver side towards the sun for best results as it protects the fruit from Sun-caused black markings.
☀️ Silver Side Faces the Sun
The silver backing helps reflect heat and reduce the risk of fruit damage from excessive sunlight.
The outer colour is commonly used by commercial growers to identify when bunches were bagged, making harvest timing easier when multiple colours are used. These bags are blue.
🍌 Benefits of Using Banana Covers
Banana bunch covers are widely used throughout the world in the banana industry to help:
✔ Protect fruit from wind rub and leaf damage
✔ Reduce some bird and insect damage
✔ Improve fruit presentation and skin quality
✔ Help create a protected bunch environment

Many studies have reported increases in bunch weight when banana covers are used under suitable growing conditions.

🍌 When to Bag Bananas
Most growers apply covers when:
- The banana fingers begin turning upwards; or
- Shortly after the bell forms where birds or bats are a concern.
If bagging early, remove fallen bracts from inside the bag as required.
🍌 Harvest Tips
Ripening bananas naturally release gases that can encourage other fruit in the bunch to ripen.
For a longer harvest period:
- Pick hands progressively as needed; or
- Harvest mature green fruit and ripen indoors.
Removing some of the smaller fruit hands near the end of the bunch may help direct energy into the remaining fruit.
