Re: is this a cavendish?
We have had and are having a lot of rain and wind in a short period of time and some of my basjoos fell over and broke at the stem. A couple are still standing but are leaning. Do I dig down and sever the root system (and stake) and try to straighten them up or leave them alone. If I try to straighten them without severing the roots, I think they will break at the stem. It happened on some I tried to straighten. [IMG][/IMG]

Re: is this a cavendish?
I live in hurricane alley and this happens to me at least twice a year it seems.
If the pstem is snapped clean off the base corm then its done. If its just leaning or was pulled out of the ground but not snapped I dig around the corm and stick it back in the ground. Takes about two weeks to recover in my area. If a couple roots on the opposite side snap I don't worry about it. I also usually provide some support. Either a stake or tie a rope from the plant to the fence. Banana plants are tough! |

Re: is this a cavendish?
If it took out the grow point which was the case for mine. It will produce pups so it’s not a complete write off but I always have a follower so I shift my attention to it.
Note: It looks like it took out the grow point to me but I’m on my phone. Just leave it. It will either grow or die. You will know in a couple weeks either way. Last edited by Akula : 07-16-2021 at 07:49 PM. |

Re: is this a cavendish?
My biggest Basjoo fell last night. I'm guessing just too much water. We've had 10+ inches of rain in the last 2 weeks. Most of the Basjoos are just breaking at the base. They seem to be 'pushing' so I hope something will grow there. Never had the plants just fall over and break, but never had so much rain in a short period of time.[IMG]

Re: is this a cavendish?
Is having basjoos just fall over and break at the stem a cause of too much water? I have lost all but one leaning plant and want to try and straighten this one up by digging in front of it and adding soil without touching the plant. I tried pulling some of the other plants up and they broke off and one big one just broke by itself. The day this happened I wasn't home but neighbors said not much wind but 2 down-pours of rain and we have had lots of rain the past 2 weeks. There are some small pups coming.[IMG]
