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.

Re: Is this a flag leaf?
Looks like it, or the short one right before the flag.

Re: Is this a flag leaf?
My Pisang Ceylon had a very similar small leaf 2 weeks ago and now there is an obvious flower.
Congratulations! |

Re: Is this a flag leaf?
Has anyone ever successfully transplanted a banana tree at the flowering stage?

Re: Is this a flag leaf?
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! |

Re: Is this a flag leaf?
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...
