Cool Unusual fast growth?

Hello all,

My Musa basjoo is growing extremely fast at over a foot or more a week, even days!

I am in zone 10/California, and I do not do anything to it except water once a week.

Is this the normal growth rate?

Thx

Default Re: Unusual fast growth?

If you are referring to the cigar or central leaf at the top, yes, that is normal. A little slow, but normal. An established basjoo will put out a new leaf every five days.
