Could it be frost damage somehow? Or friction marks? Just I don't think there are any leaves nearby.......

Possible ... but the marks shouldn't get any larger if those were the cause. But if these are from a fungus then it needs to be kilt to keep from spreading. .... Notice the ends of the fingers are black too. Frost would have killed the little flowers. So I doubt this is frost damage.

Question Re: More Tall Namwa Blooms
Man I am surprised! The pup from the one that fruited in the fall that made a nice twelve hand bunch. I pruned it. As it turned out, I didn’t need to. 😓 THEN the pup throws a nine hand bunch. Thankfully that one wasn’t in the fall 😠 It also threw the bunch right at the mother! I thought they fruited away from the mother! Super confusing lol.

Question Re: More Tall Namwa Blooms
How come it dropped the bunch pretty much right on top of the mother's cut trunk?

Talking Re: More Tall Namwa Blooms
This is a photo time lapse of both bunches. Here’s the first one: (with plenty of raucous guitar music lol)

Here is the second one. Warning: loud, scary, battle sound affects were added to this one

Hey BBJ, you have the namwas this year!

My favorite was the first video. Especially the last bit with the chain saw and then the bunch was down and the crowd roaring. Haha. Good stuff!
