J, sorry I didn't mean to discredit your post. And like yourself, I too would like to find out what the cause of the problem is. Perhaps there are numerous contributors including wind, rain, salt, moles, etc. I only know that my Ice Cream made it through the outer-bands of two hurricanes passing up the coast last year and the leaves never popped off. So far this year, we haven't had any tropical systems, which leads me to believe the banana popped its leaves as it emerged from its first over-winter. It is definitely hard to say because my bananas never stopped growing through winter, however.
One thing I do know is that my SDCav is only 10" and it popped 4 leaves when it began growing again. The leaves are still green and healthy but a good distance away from the psuedostem. The funny thing is, it does not receive any direct sun, wind, or rain. Leaf popping is ,indeed, quite an enigma.
