Default Re: Strange Growth in my Musa Basjoo

I'd still have some hope that you get some fruit to develop despite not really having much in the way of leaves.

I was able to harvest 64 namwah fruit from my first crop last summer. The thing was, I only had half of one full-sized leaf and the (flag) leaf that comes up just before the bud emerges as far as foliage went. The rest got taken out by a frost.

Historical posts on here said it could go either way and I wasn't disappointed. I was hoping that the underground mat that had formed would contribute. Whether it did or not, I couldn't tell. At any rate, it was worth having hope for sure. The fruit probably didn't fill out as much as they could have, but they weren't all angular and emaciated-looking either.

Good luck!
