Reading another post on Bunchy Top and thought I'd ask.
I was consulting a person who had a banana plant I gave them about 2 years ago.
I immediately took photos and thought Bunchy Top.
The thing hadn't grown in about a year he said, when I gave it to him it was a small TC in a 4" pot.
Now it's in the ground here in So Cal.
The new center leaf is having issue coming out and is necrotic.
All other leaves are erect/upward and bunched.
I'll be going back tomorrow for a closer look to se if I see any aphids or anything else, ants etc.
At first I thought it needed some fertilzer/nutrients. Then I saw the necrotic center leaf and got worried.
I didn't see any noticeable insects or ants, but will do closer look tomorrow.
See photos:
