hi
Thanks for all the replies...its not Orinoco ..

While doing search on finding the age of banana plant i came across a formula....

Age = pseudostem circumference / 9

my plants pseudostem circumference is 37 cm...hence age of the plant comes out to be 4 months + few days..
I dont know how far its true...but yes uptill the age of 6 months or till the diameter is 55 cm it seems to be accurate...after age 6 months just add 5cm per month...

i request members here to pls. verify this theory.....i am not able to get back the pdf file in which i read it ..as soon as i relocate the file will upload the same for reference..

Thanks
