My first banana plant was a dwarf cavendish that's about a year old. I've posted some pic's recently and mentioned it looked like she was getting ready to flower.

Well, we've had torrential thunderstorms all day today and I just went out back and saw that the DC had not just been blown over in the winds, but the pseudostem was totally ripped away from the roots!

It doesn't look like there's going to be any way to save her and I'm totally depressed. It's going to be at least another year before one of my bananas flower and I was really looking forward to my first banana harvest from the DC.

I could cry right now!

I'll post some pics tomorrow after the sun comes up here.
