I have had the warped leaves with Musa sp. Yunnan, Raja Puri, and Sweetheart as well. I heavily limed my garden area early this spring, where my Raja Puri and Sweetheart are planted, and the leaves appear to be almost normal-looking this year.

Musa cheesmani was left out here last winter, heavily mulched.

Something else...looks like this isn't quite the end of our season either! The forecast a few days ago showed possible frost coming up in the next 10 days, but now I see nothing under 45F until at least November! Maybe I will now seriously consider protecting a couple of plants with bunches on them that needed an extra month of frost-free conditions for the bunches to mature. Sure is nice, considering my first frost last year was Oct. 12th!
