Fast growth is often the result of a bit too much nitrogen and/or a lot of precipitation.

Although not ideal, a bit of crinkle in the leaf does not impair the plant's ability to produce fruit. All of my plants have some crinkle and all of them produce big bunches. I have a dwarf namwa myself that is about to fruit that has crinkles and a massively thick pstem. I'll post up the bunch when it flowers.

The fact that your leafs are not split from all the storms that have moved through our area over the past month tells me that the plant leaves are pretty healthy.


some times on some bananas. if you over fertilize, the leaves, they dont turn brown, they deform. case in point, over fertilize a praying hands. when you push them hard.
