Answer
Hi Lenita, ok, you have two "Hands" of bananas at the top of the stalk, and at the bottom your red cob needs to be cut off, so that it takes weight away from the plant (so as to prevent it breaking). the hands of bananas will take up to 2 months to plump out, (they will swell) when they have swelled to a point that they stop swelling, then you need to cut the bunch off and hang it upside down in a cooler area, like the garage or laundry room, to let them ripen up.
