Is this a flag leaf?
 

I thought this leaf looked different the other day when I first noticed it. I took a closer look today. We had a couple of nice warm days here in Massachusetts but the nights are getting cold. We had a low of 39 F last week. It will be in the 40's tonight. I don't know the variety because it was from willisorchard. This one survived being stored in burlap last winter in the cellar.

Looks like it, or the short one right before the flag.

My Pisang Ceylon had a very similar small leaf 2 weeks ago and now there is an obvious flower.
Congratulations!

Has anyone ever successfully transplanted a banana tree at the flowering stage?

Purchased this Pisang Ceylon from Willis Orchard last year not sure if it really is! It flowered in CT and made some nanas - has fallen down last week :( I did get that half leaf before the flag leaf. Good thing I have some pups!

That doesn't quite look small enough to be the "small" leaf; a lot of times there's a short leaf (or 2) first, like pictured below.
Here's a more distinct "small" & "flag" leaf:


The critters can trick ya though, lately some of mine weren't throwing the small leaf at all, the flag & bud would just pop out abruptly.
Guess we'll have to wait & see to be able to know for sure. From the top view it doesn't look like it, from the other it looks a lot more like one.
I'm so confoozed... :lurk:
