Does the PK have a weak pseudostem?

Don't think the pstem is weaker or stronger than any other tall naner. The problem is the long wide big leaves that catch too much wind. And with the weight of the mature bunch somethings gotta give,. We get very violent gusts at the approach of a strong cell. And it's over in a minute or two.
One thing that will never happen is for the corm to get uprooted. This thing roots and pups deeper than any other naner I've grown. Removing a 7 or 8 ft pup is a 2 man job. Unless you circle the corm with a shovel to sever the roots. Which I don't like to do.
It will be interesting to see how things go at the Ae Ae end of the row of mats. There are 5 tall naners planted next to each other - Ae Ae, Morado, tall ARH, Pisang Klotek and Njalipoovan.
