Default Re: Basjoo growth progress

Great looking basjoo banana. It is growing nicely. All bananas grow by adding new leaves which increases the height of the pseudostem. You'll be surprised at how quickly they can roll out a leaf and increase in mass. Each leaf should get larger in size, and this will help the corm (root) get larger and more developed.
