Looks like a nice recovery. Ice cream bananas are very tough. Mine was starting to rot from under the soil (I think) because it was falling in its pot no matter how much I propped it up. So I decided to re-pot it, this time a little deeper. In a week it was able to hold itself up pretty well and by 2 weeks it was strong enough for it to stay up all by itself. It started putting leaves out like crazy and although it only grew about a foot to a foot and a half of new stem, I think when It goes in the ground next year, its going to grow like crazy!
