Banana Problems
Hi, I have two of the Dwarf Cavendish banana trees, one is doing great the other seems to have issues. They both get the same treatment and were brought in through the winter (Zone 8b) This one had a leaf in the top brown out and die, it has not grown a new leaf since. It just keeps putting out pups. The leaves it had are all still fine it just wont grow new ones. I thought perhaps a larger pot, when transplanting it I noticed a rotten spot at the base. This one has never produced bananas, I bought it as a pup last year. Is it lost? Do I chop it down and just focus on pups? Pics below.

Re: Banana Problems
You might as well separate the larger pup and while you are at it see what is going on with the corm that the troubled pseudostem is growing from.
By the time they are ready to fruit, you're going to wish they were in 25-gallon pots, so you might as well take care of that now too.

Re: Banana Problems
Thank you, when I cut the main one down it had a rotten spot up into the stalk. I cut it out snd left the corm which seems ok. Will see what it does.
