Default Musa Basjoo (anorexiana)

Musa Basjoo (anorexiana) Anyone else seeing this odd behavior. I grew out around 75 basjoos in the ground and found two that have been producing long narrow leaves.

It makes me think that there's Probably something lacking in the soil because of the yellowing on some of the leaves.

It kind of looks virused. I'm not to familar with banana viruses, but the striped coloring in the leaves and bad growth habit is something that is looked for in cannas to see if they are virused. Nutrient difficentcy also might be a problem.
Hope you figure it out!
