Re: IC looks sad
I have a similar problem.
I moved my yunnanensis out of full sun to the understory of my oaks last week to (hopefully) make way for a saba. After joining this forum and learning exactly what I had I realized that full sun for this one was a mistake. The sunburns spots kinda gave it away too.
Anyway, I removed some of the bottom leaves from the pstems when I moved it. The tallest is about six ft. This morning I noticed that the bottom leaves on the largest pstems are yellowing, so it looks like more will have to be removed. I hope this levels off soon, at least we're getting plenty of rain. I'm trying not to get freaked out!
Oddly, my experience with ice cream was just the opposite. I started with a 4 ft plant in a 3 gallon pot. It sat like a lump for the first year and I barely got a new leaf out of it. I had actually dug it up to throw it away when I decided to give it another chance is a sunnier part of my garden. Well, that was all it took. It EXPLODED, and is now the prettiest banana in my collection. Check it out in my gallery.
My bet is that your ice cream and my yunnanensis will be fine once they adjust. But it is hard to not get stressed out when they do!
