A week or so ago I had a 8’ tall banana plant that’s in the ground get knocked over in the wind. The pseudostem broke cleanly off at the soil line. Will the pseudostem grow back? I’m hoping if nothing else it will put out pups or something. I wonder if it could be dead. I’ll post a picture tomorrow. Thanks for any help!
