Hi everyones,

One of my local banana species has never been moving at all, while other
bananas already started moving. Then I thought something must have
happend inside the pseudostem.
So cut the top stem a little by little till white center rolled growing point
was observed. There I found was what you can see from the picture.

Is this caused by a pest or a kind of disease? or any other reason?

LOL!!!

Seriously, Stan, I had a couple of my plants that were like that after our Big Freeze. I had one that I cut back that took off immediately after it was cut back.
