This is just a guess but they might need potassium. Bananas need extra and potassium leaches out quickly (although one wonders when we haven't had any RAIN!).

My bananas need a lot of water and a lot of nitrogen rich fertilizer. Extra potassium might be good but mine just demand a lotta water and are happy with a lotta balanced fertilizer like 6-6-6 supplemented by rotting vegetation materials piled around their base.

I am ferting them and I throw all green cuttings from the kitchen at them. I water daily. It's just the Ice Cream, none of my other bananas are doing this.

Can anyone else help me before this post gets burried?

Yes, I have no bananas...LOL...but Miss Cindee...did you check out this site to see if you can discover the problem?

Here is a link that might be useful: nanners

Hey Cindee!

I've had problems that look similar to that, not on bananas but the new leaves would never completely develop and would curl up. I finally figured out it was some scale that are really hard to see because they blend with the foliage. I still have the problem sometimes because I hate to spray anything. Hope this helps.

(((Judy)) Holey Sox, girl I haven't seen you in ages! I appreciate your input. I only have fungicidal soap. Does that help scale? I am also seeing somesimilar on my cirtus near the banana.

Cindee, use this. It will smother the scale:

1/3 cup Murphy's Oil Soap (don't use an off brand, it has a different oil in it that might burn the plant)
1 tbsp. baking soda
1 gallon of water.

Spray in the evening, when it's cool, or in the early morning. I prefer morning, because it dries on the leaves better. I do it once a week for scale, and it's always worked. Works on orange leaf miners too!
