Dwarf Cavendish's Choking
Hello all,
After a few leaves of Dwarf Cavendish sprouted this spring, it suddenly stopped movement and the situation didn't change at all. So I dared to break the top of the pseudostem and then found the choking was about to begin as the follwong picture shows: |

Re: Dwarf Cavendish's Choking
You can see the flag leaf! Is it a Dwarf or Super Dwarf?

Re: Dwarf Cavendish's Choking
Dwarf types, and Cavendish types in particular seen to have the final leaves just before flowering all bunched up.

Re: Dwarf Cavendish's Choking
Hi Michel,
This is a normal Dwarf Cavendish. You can see from the pic that the petiole on the right is damaged and half broken. |

Re: Dwarf Cavendish's Choking
Stan is here again.
Yes, it is the flag leaf. But what I mean is that the flag leaf was prevented from sprouting by the petiole(seen on the right) by some reason or other. I do suspect it was caused by the irregular weather from March to May, sometime very cool 10C/50F, and the other days very hot 30C/86F. |
