![]() 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. Banana Gallery - Are these bananas normal Banana Gallery - Are these bananas normal Banana Gallery - Are these bananas normal Last edited by arbadie : 04-29-2018 at 07:27 AM. |

![]() 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?
