Thank you Keith for all the pictures.
What I meant is the time of the year the pseudostem is maturing from emergence rather than its actual age. Your previous post made me wonder if the finger length may have some correlation to at what time of year the sucker emerged. My line of thinking is that when the plant "determined" what the bunch/finger characteristics were going to be, the environmental conditions were more ideal than other times of the year.
But then again, as you stated above, this particular plant is thriving on neglect. So perhaps its just the luck of the draw, or the plant was trying to find a way to get your attention.
