![]() Hi,
Some of you who have grown Dwarf Cavendish (Musa acuminata) before have probably bumped up against this problem. The leaves at some point in time (probably 5 months ago, it's about 3 years old) started growing at a rate faster than the banana can grow up. That means its beginning to clump a bunch of leaves together. Is this common? How come it's not growing much vertically? the leaves and plant itself looks very healthy, however, I read this might be a common problem for this type of banana. Any advice? Thanks |

![]() Are the leaf edges yellowing? It could be Banana Bunchy Top Virus. Here's a link if you want to look into it more. Bunchy top | The banana knowledge platform of the ProMusa network.
