Well looks like it got a man down

Grandma called it a "Macho" banana , I confused it with burro.

False horn plantain (thanks PR for the lesson)

Looks as it rotted at the mid pstem.. It's very soft no green.

It's been raining a lot these days.. But I fear it's a fungus/ virus.

Btw this was/is a water sucker, not a sword with corm. Perhaps this is why it's not as strong.

Any ideas? Should yank those suckers and transplant
Or call it quits and move on to the real deal and not the "false" lol

I rather drop in a dwarf Puerto Rican plantain from going bananas unless you can sell me a pup

Thanks in advance
