Default Re: Strange leaf

It seems to me like alternating wet and dry periods will do that to a banana too. It's like it grows a large spiral during a wet time, then it turns off dry and it gets stuck. When it starts growing the next leaf, it's still stuck inside the first one. When you see one doing that, you can carefully unroll it part way and it'll go from there.
