Default Are these bananas normal?
I found about 3 of my 10 months old banana swollen. I suspect it's trying to bring out the bunch but am not sure.
Please let me know whether they are normal or something is wrong with them. See the images below.
Thanks.

They could be about to flower, but that swelling is not normal and could indicate a different issue.

Are the plants continuing to make leaves as normal?

Could it be caused by the way you cut the old leaves
