Petioles separating from stalk
I planted a DC about a month ago and it has grown a few new leaves but now the petioles seem to be separating from the main stalk. Is there a sudden growth that has pushed them out or is this a sign of disease, imminent death or rot?

Re: Petioles separating from stalk
I think it looks OK. If you look at my posting, "Petioles" (in the Banana Identification section) you will see a picture of a DC, posted by Yug. He says DCs have "open" petoles. His picture looks like yours.

Re: Petioles separating from stalk
They do that sometimes....not sure what causes it. I'd just leave it be. Don't worry about cutting any leaves off or anything unless they turn brown/die. Probably just another one of those things (like splits in the pseudostem) that bananas do when they grow rapidly.

Re: Petioles separating from stalk
Thanks for all the responses. I will leave it be. I have quite a few growing so i won't be too disappointed if something strange should occur.
