What is that, an Orinoco?
The "red stripe" on the stem is typically what mine put out just before throwing a flag or flower; at any rate, the flower bud won't be long now... congrats on the pending hatching!

Oh yah... like previously mentioned, sometimes there's no "half" leaf, (or it comes out looking like a full size leaf).
The "red stripe" is the tell that the flag & bud are about to pop!

Why thank U Bob3

That supposedly according to an Old Hippie working at a local nursery is a Plantain?
Myth is it came from some nana plants he removed from an old Baton Roach, Louisiana neighborhood where the home owner no longer wanted the plants next to his house so he hired the hippie to remove them.

One day while I was looking for nanna's that would survive the cold weather we sometimes get here in Lizard creek he mentioned he had recently discarded a matt of hardy nanna's andgo out into the woods and see if any were still alive.

He brought me back a nanna NO LEAVES just some roots and wrapped in news paper.

I planted it 2 1/2 years ago and WAH LAH here it B:}

Maybe when is delivers someone who knows what it is will chime in and tell me what variety it is:}

I'd appreciate dat!

Then of the 20 or so nanna plants I have I will have identified 3 lol

Again thanks

Red Strip huh!

I call that thing the penultimate leaf. The last dwarfed leaf before the thick short flag. Snookie should see fruit this year since it's July.

In 8 years of growing naners on 12 mats I've seen this about a dozen times.

Dan,

I have about the same amount of mats but I haven't not seen one not have a half leaf. Granted I've only been growing for three years. That is so bizarre. I thought all bananas had that . The three varieties I have observed this on is Tall Namwah, Goldfinger and Orinoco.

So what's the word Mayor? Is the flag poking out yet?

Yah, but as for eating any, maybe closer to next spring, depending on how nasty a winter he's getting down there. Some late bloomers we've had have gone close to a year when cold weather slowed them down.

Orinocos are a "dual purpose" 'nanner; fry 'em up as tostones (they caramelize & taste great because of their high sugar content) or let them hang 'till yellow & ripe. (one of the few cultivars that won't bust open if left hanging to ripen).
