Hi,

Some of you who have grown Dwarf Cavendish (Musa acuminata) before have probably bumped up against this problem.

The leaves at some point in time (probably 5 months ago, it's about 3 years old) started growing at a rate faster than the banana can grow up. That means its beginning to clump a bunch of leaves together.

Is this common? How come it's not growing much vertically? the leaves and plant itself looks very healthy, however, I read this might be a common problem for this type of banana.

Any advice?

Thanks

Are the leaf edges yellowing? It could be Banana Bunchy Top Virus. Here's a link if you want to look into it more. Bunchy top | The banana knowledge platform of the ProMusa network (http://www.promusa.org/Bunchy+top).

Why did you start another thread for the same problem? Not good and waste everyone's time. ... See your original thread for posted replies.. http://www.bananas.org/f2/dwarf-cavendish-leaf-clump-problem-50683.html
