Re: The whole thing broke off
I've definitely seen it happen, though not on 'Dwarf Cavendish', some cultivars are more prone to it than others, in my experience it's usually been an issue of a heavy bunch and wind gusts. Normally staking the bunch with supports is enough to prevent it. It could be some other issue that led to it too, but hard to say without photos.
