Hi everyone!
Usually my Ice Cream banana is a good grower, but not this year for some reason. We have had a good share of warm weather, especially recently with temperatures in the 90s for 3 days, but there has been no growth on my ice cream banana. I dont see any signs of new leaves coming up at all.
Compare this to my Saba which is in less sun and gets less heat and it has already grown an entire leaf this season (it has 3 leaves total now) with another on the way. Why is my ice cream banana growing so slow. All my other bananas are growing and Im getting worried that something is going on with it even though there have not been signs of decline, its just not doing anything!
Heres a pic from about a week ago. The plants in this pic have all grown a little since this pic with the exception of my banana!
Any help is really appreciated. I added some worm castings about 3 days ago, so far I dont see that helping or hurting. I bought some balanced fertlizer that I may use also.
I wanted it to get big (at least 13 feet) since its already 6 feet tall and it's not even filled out yet. Dont think It will be getting tall this year, maybe at this rate it will grow a new leaf by July 4th!
