Anyone know what is going on here. THis is the 2nd basjoo to have the psuedo just fall over. Kinda like what would happen after a banana freezes. I have had bananas in this area for 3 years now without a problem. This one fell but the very interior new leaf remained standing. The only thing I can think of is the wasp spray I applied over head dripped on them.

Have you had any wind? or could something like a large bird sat on them or a cat climbing on them? It looks like physical damage, not something spray related which would probably just burn the leaves. Cut it back below the damage and it'll grow back. I had a bordelon that broke down like that in a storm. Does the gutter of the house go over it and maybe the water overflowed the gutter in a heavy rain, like it needs cleaning out?

Thanks sandy, but Nope none of the above, it looked like it just rotted out and flopped over. These were a good 8'+ last year. The largest did the same earlier in the summer. Getting ready to hack and dig up all the weeds er I mean basjoos soon though. there are at least 10 in the area and they are just not very attractive. They should do good in the woods......
