That is actually the banana I have owned the longest. I started of with the one in the far left in the picture above. The main stem died back and the three stems emerged centered around what looked like a rotting core? Unfortunately I mananged to kill one of the stems bumbling around trying to seperate them. After that I just planted the two survivors as-is. This is what they looked like right after the record low here on Easter this year. They survived covered only by a 5 gallon bucket. The other bananas I bought this year at about 2 feet high.
Thanks to all for the help identifying!
