The plant remained in a pot for 4-5 months after receiving in order for winter to finish. Planted in the ground on April 2006 (13 months ago) and since then it was growing very fast with green leaves. I applied rich potassium fertlizer and the plant reacted very good. This winter was not so cold and the plant did not completely stopped growing, but it produced once in a while a leave. In our winter the leaves are turning yellow and only in spring when it is getting warm, one by one is getting greener again. This plant may had not the chance to have enough time for the leaves to grow and get green again because it flowered soon. The pups look healthy and have normal green color.
My diagnosis is that it flowered early, before have enough green leaves, (only 2-3 yellow ones) and now is too late to support it.
My other bananas that are not flowering yet, had yellow leaves too but now they started to look green & healthy again, so hopefully if one of them flowers it will be ok.
I always consider that this (flower timing) must be my number one problem here: Too early -> not enough leaves, Too late -> not enough warm period for ripening.
Later, I will upload a photo of the pups to see that they look ok.
