Of course this is the wrong time of the year, but it's put out one leaf lately that's only 3 feet long, and the next one rolling out looks even shorter. It's probably the "world's oldest ice cream" that's never bloomed at 4 years old!
How big is a flag leaf usually on an ice cream? really small like a bordelon or larger? I'll post some pictures on my gallery asap.when Planted:

now:

Hey I got to looking, I guess it's not four years old. This picture of it was taken in 2007, and it was a year old then. So I guess it's only three! Time sure goes slow when you want a banana to bloom in Indiana!
