Re: Normal growth?
What you are seeing is the transition from female flowers to male flowers--the male flowers may actually set a small stubby fruit, but it will not grow into anything edible. Sometimes there are actually some "transitional" bananas that will be in between the male and female forms, but they usually do not amount to much.

Re: Normal growth?
Normal. Last hand is often has some smaller bananas and/or fewer as it transitions to male flowers.

Re: Normal growth?
When you upload (or pull up a picture), you will see a set of 3 codes at the bottom of the picture. Copy (highlight and then control C) the first one (for bulletin boards) and then paste it (control V) in the thread.
