Default Re: 2 in 1 - Twins ?

That's the damndest thing, I have seen. I have a Cavendish in a huge pot right now. When it was very young, it sent up a sucker and both are about the same size right now at least a full year. Very well fertilized and watered. With no apparent cause for this to happen one of the banana trees also did the same thing, it sent up 2 or 3 gnarled leaves and then the began to look normal and continue to grow and now I also have the same situation as you have. There are 2 seperate plants growing out of the one trunk. With no sight of seperating. They are tightly wrapped by the trunk. It is hard for me to get pictures of it because it is a Cavendish and is tightly growing with short petioles.
Salute'
