I think what happend is that 2 shoots grew from the same peice of meristem while in tissue culture. Since 'Maurelii' can only be propagated by tissue culture, it makes sense that this would be the case. In tissue cultured Musa, you will notice they can often make lots of small pups when still extremely small plants. The reason they seem to be growing inside of eachother is because pups dont always form on the outsides of the corm, they can occasionally form on the topsideand thus grow thru the present pseudostem, if positioned right, this does not always damage both shoots and they can still grow to a certain point, however, usually one eventually will outgrow the other and kill one of them. But as everyone else has been saying, it will indeed be interesting to watch.
