Re: Variegated Dwarf 'namwah Pearl'
Getting burnt leaf should not be a big deal for bananas. They quickly recover and during the very active growth in the warm season, those leaves will be history. Even if all banana leaves get burnt, you should not worry as the newer leaves emerge, they get acclimatized to the new area you moved them. You can also simply chop off the top part of the trunk, and this way all your new leaves will be acclimatized. The area of the pseudostem is more than enough for bananas to photosynthesize food for maintenance and helping in the growing of leaves. The pseudostems and the corm have also a lot of stored food and nutrients to easily replace leaves. Remember that most of banana's native habitat in the tropics are prone to typhoons, hurricanes, and they have evolved to quickly recover from these very frequent natural disasters.
