Default Re: strangled tropicana

The pup growth is fairly normal for a super dwarf Cavendish - mine are similar and little prince is even more prolific. It does look a little restricted at the top but not as bad as Ensete strangles.

Given the pstem length I suspect that worst case you could have just chopped it back a bit and it would have cleared itself. First time i have seen this with a Musa so it certainly opens up the debate as to the cause.
