Default Re: Double crown

I can't really tell exactly what's going on in your photo, but double crowns are common in the cultivar known as 'Double Cavendish' (also incorrectly referred to as 'Mahoe' or 'Mahoi'). They are known for making split bunches, but also often can have multiple growing points combining into one pseudostem, producing a double crown.
