Default Re: Leaves?

Correct. At some point the oldest/older leaves will lose their integrity and start their process of falling off the plant. You can leave them or remove them if you don't like how they look. It is possible to have as many as 14 fronds - possibly more - on a banana plant but I am only aware of this with Orinoco. The more fronds there are the more growing they'll do - sun is food.
