Spring and summer bananas, also known as off-season bananas, are harvested during the warmer months, typically between midsummer and early spring. This period can span from March to June, depending on the region. These bananas include varieties such as the old flower banana (snow jujube) and most of the new flower types. Due to cooler temperatures in winter and early spring, banana yields tend to be lower during those times. In China, the off-season for bananas usually occurs from March to May, which makes them more expensive and easier to store and transport.
Moreover, the growth cycle of spring and summer bananas avoids the typhoon season, reducing the risk of wind damage. As a result, these bananas are primarily cultivated in Hainan, southern Guangdong, parts of Fujian, and Guangxi. With the widespread promotion of tube seedlings, most plantings occur in the spring, leading to an early harvest that falls into the spring and summer category. This is why spring and summer bananas make up a significant portion of China's overall banana production.
However, despite their advantages, off-season bananas are still vulnerable to cold damage. A severe frost event occurred in 1992-1993, causing widespread destruction of banana crops across major growing regions. Many farmers suffered heavy losses, highlighting the risks associated with this type of cultivation. Therefore, off-season bananas tend to perform better in regions with milder winters, where the chances of frost damage are significantly reduced.
