Re: Can fruit mature without leaves on the P-stem?
It does can and will mature the bunch,i have seen that locally. I dont know if it can take nourishment from the younger stems but i would think that a mature corm has enough energy to mature a small bunch on its own,even without leafs or support from the mat. But,the interconnected nature of a banana mat suggests there is some nutrient and water flow between the corms and that resources are shared.
