Any idea why new leaves are like this?
Does anyone have an idea why our new leaves are coming in like this? (pic attached). The last 3-4 leaves have been this way. Watering has been normal, live in San Diego with good sun.

Looks like physical damage from orioles or similar stripping fiber for leaves.

Re: Any idea why new leaves are like this?
If the leaf is unrolling like that then it may be too much fertilizer specifically nitrogen.
I had a similar problem earlier this year and posted up some photos about it. I skipped fertilizing until the leaf unrolled normally and then resumed my fertilizer program. I miscalculated the amount of fertilizer needed when the plants were coming out of winter dormancy with multiple pstems from a single corn. |

Re: Any idea why new leaves are like this?
Thanks for all the replies. We haven't fertilized in a few months so I'm not sure if it could the fertilizer issue. Wasn't sure if this is just a common issue with the Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' Red Banana. Hopefully one of the next few leaves will pop out healthy but so far its been about 4 in a row with the ripped/torn look.
