Any idea what banana that is?
Seems like it might be a good one for Alabama too!
I'm pretty sure I've read that the leaves gettin shredded doesn't slow their growth, and I think they claimed it might even speed growth up, was a long time ago that I read it, I'll never find the link.
I'm not sure that's all true but I know mine grew fine after getting absolutely blasted by wind.
They do deal cyclones and hurricanes, so obviously they can tolerate wind.
Shredded leaves really look a lot different that their huge untorn leaves... Some folks really dislike the shredded the look
