I planted my Musa Basjoo around 6 years ago here in NC and have been taking care of them since then. During the winter, I wrap them and then pull it off after the first frost.

One my largest Musa is doing something I have not seen before. It was putting out leaves and then all of a sudden it stopped. When looking at it, I noticed this large bolus/growth. No new leaves were coming out, just this thing. It has slowly been moving up, but slowly. I have no clue what this is and if this is a good thing. I am praying there is nothing wrong with it as this is my largest and favorite banana. It almost looks like an ear of corn growing out of it.

Please help with any advice or guidance. Thanks. And sorry for the picture being on its side...not sure why that happened.

Tom
