Hi & thanks for the reply..

Yes the trunk did have leaves, the root system i pulld out had some shoots on it so i assume that`ll do fine if i plant it and take the pups off as & when..
Im in the UK so the climate isnt ideal for tropical plants outdoors, the reason im so upset about this one is it`s quite a large plant, and i`ve been growing it for several years now. The plant did have a kind of base on it & a trunk with leaves, also with one very new large leaf on it. I came back from work today and the leaves had started to wilt except from the newest one, which i`ll wait and keep an eye on.

As you say all is not lost as i do have a few definate healthy pups, just really heart breaking to see the mother plant go down :-((

Thanks for your reply..

Hi

Was repotting my banana plant outside today, cut a few of the babies off, then repotted.
As i was pulling the plant out i must of tugged too hard and what seemed like the entire root ball came off!!
I was really upset initially, but then i noticed that it did still seem to have a kind of a "clump" left on it. Now i carried on repotting the plant and watered it generously, is it possible my plant will be ok, and reroot normally as the babies seem to do..

Any help appreciated...
