Help Rookie Mistake
This is my second season with my dwarf cavendish and first time over wintering. I left about 18 inches of the stem and covered it with leaves and a garbage can. When i uncovered it about a week ago the outside of the stem was ok but the center was mushy. I kept cutting it lower and lower till I ended up at the ground and still had mush in the center. Today I pulled the corn out of the ground which to my surprise was the size of a football. I went to cut the remaining stem off and by mistake cut into the top of the corn. The corn was solid and white and looked good but i wanted to know if I just killed it by cutting the top of the corn off?

Re: Help Rookie Mistake
Been there done that. Probably fine. I get pieces of dwarf cavendish growing that should never grow. Mu dwarf cavendish is my most cold sensitive yet hardiest over all.

Re: Help Rookie Mistake
Plant it and you'll see. Maybe it's going to send a few pups...

Re: Help Rookie Mistake
Chop that corm up into six pieces, plant them and you will probably end up six banana
plants, same as with potatoes.
