Is everyone else stomped also?
Maybe I should email the owner.
Looks like he amputated the pstem ahead of the flag
or the embryo and the flower bud came out after the amputation?

Anyone else tried this?
I always thought the more leaves you have
esp during gestation the better
so the fingers plump and fill up properly?

Any thoughts?
I was one of the 78. I think you are right. The stem was cut for whatever reason. Probably for overwintering indoors. It also makes the bananas easier to pick. You don't need a ladder.
