OK my Banana Braniac friends, I got one for you! I received a new Ae pup on Monday. It appears that it has several plantlets coming out of the same pseudostem. I thought it looked pretty awful when I took it out of the box. I didn't do anything with it. Day two I put it in a larger pot and still thought it was not looking too promising. Today I went to take pictures of my date palm seedlings and noticed it has several what appear to be plantlets coming out of one p-stem. I tried to take really close shots for you to see. I felt the pstem which feels nice and firm but it is not round. It feels lobed if that makes any sense. I feel at least three and maybe four sections of valleys under the layers of outer p-stem.
Here are pictures of all three days.
Day One
Day Two
Day Three today 6/17/10 With one new leaf showing:
With possible three other new leaves showing?
Trying to show one of the indented valleys:
I would like comments on this if anyone has any ideas, if this is not really unusual or what?
