Banana terminology
- "Debelling" is cutting off the banana flower, called the "bell".
- A "finger" is a single banana fruit.
- A "finger stalk" is the stalk attaching the finger to the hand.
- A "hand" is a cluster of bananas from a single flower group at a node forming a section of the bunch because bananas grow in layers around the stalk.
- A "bunch" is the whole flowering stem (inflorescence), bearing hands, fruit clusters, of several fingers of fruit.
- So a bunch with nine layers of bananas is called a "nine hand bunch".
- When marketing bananas, a bunch is called a "stem".
