Default Re: If the heart is dead is thr entire plant dead ?

The corm is what is most important. I have some of my bananas rot in the center of the pseudostem over winter and those shoots do die, but new pseudostems shoot up from the corm and do well. What is important in that case is the mass of the corm. A good sized corm will send up shoots pretty quickly. If it was a seedling or Tissue Culture plant with very little corm then it is unlikely that it will survive.
