BAGS SOLD INDIVIDUALLY
Protect your Banana Bunch by covering the fruit with these good quality bunch bags.
Fruit can be damaged by wind, sun, birds, bats, possums or other animals.
Bagging your fruit reduces the attractiveness to pests.
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.
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, your fruit has a much better chance of staying safe.
Best not to leave ripe fruit on the tree because that will attract bats and they will destroy the bunch.
Bag flat measurement is 1220mm x 720mm.

What size is this banana bag?

Why is the bag blue and silver?
The blue colour helps farms identify when the fruit was bagged — they use multiple colours to keep track of bagging dates. The silver side reflects heat, so make sure you face the silver side toward the sun.
How do I use the banana bag?
Tie the bag at the top and leave it open at the bottom. This gives better air-flow and the open end should hang below the last hand of fruit. The bag protects the bunch from wind, sun, birds, bats, possums and other animals that can damage the fruit.
When should I bag my bananas?
When the bananas start to turn upwards, use the bunch cover to protect from birds and fruit bats. Bagging early helps improve fruit quality and can increase yield. It also reduces ripening time and prevents the ripening gas from attracting pests to your fruit.
