Default Re: Mat regrowth issues.. Please help!!

Despite the warm maximum temperatures you've been having, the lows are still pretty low, and so the average temp is just at the borderline of where you'd expect to see any growth. Your average for the last two days was around 53 F (based on the NOAA weather station in Sacramento), and so I bet your soil temperature is also in the low 50's, which as you know, isn't really warm enough for edible bananas to grow much. I think it is the average soil temperature that matters most. Even down here in Southern California right now, the bananas are only growing slowly.
