This is what happens when your Chinese banana only gets one direction of light. The pot is to heavy so I am leaving it out all winter but I think if I just turn it 180 degrees It might correct itself come spring.

I had a big ensete do this exact same thing in the ground.  I think you're correct that it will straighten out.  How did you ever manage to get a single stalk?  Mine suckers like crazy off the main stalk, taking up more and more real estate.

Chester, I got this banana back in April this year as one gallon. They grow up to 6' tall and I am thinking it will sucker next year and bloom.

The one I got was tiny two years ago.  It suckered for me the first year with around 6 suckers.  This year I have no idea how many there are.  The clump is currently about 4'-4.5' around and about 5' tall.  No flower yet, but hopefully next year..
