Next, while still seemingly healthy (strong base, erect leaves) any leaves it was trying to produce became smaller and smaller -- then slower and slower to even produce any. It is either a single plant that whatever is bothering it is contorting into being pretty deformed, or has a pup that is so close and tied in that it is hard to tell if it is truly a separate entity. Either way, the last two stubs of leaves it produced were short, tiny & rather curly (inward from the tip and ruffly along the edges, not the usual downward curl as they unfurl).

Again, the overall plant seems healthy enough with good color and shine to the pseudostem and seems strong, it's just becoming curly, stunted in not producing any further leaves, and looking a bit deformed. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen happen to one of my bananas. Still, no damage whatsover to any surrounding bananas of other varities.

Thanks again for any assistance,
