Info:Choking

From Bananas Wiki

Choking

"Choking" means crammed leaves and the inflorescence emerging sideways out of the stem.

Choking may be caused by stress.

Cooling temperatures are another factor that may induce choking.

Some varieties of bananas are more prone to choking than others, one example is RajaPuri.
