Default Re: Recovering Banana Plant

IT looks like it might have been hit with soem late frost, which doesnt happen really at all down there. IT maybe heat stressed, or lack of water. TO me it doesnt look like its rot or fungus.

Musella Lasiocarpa is rated to zone 7, and has been overwintered in zone 6 and 5 with success, so I hightly highly doubt its from the cold. IT looks not to bad actualy IMO, mabey someone with more experience can help?

I just realized your in the uk LOL. ITs definetly cold damage IMO..... I have a friend in leeds, and I check out the temp there off and on, they had some frosts until 2 or 3 weeks ago. Anytime the temps go below at to 5C, id cover it with a garbage can, just to keep the chill off ( if its like musa this will help). My basjoos looked similar to that, after a cool spell in late spring. Id make sure im not over watering it, and give it as much sun as you can there.......
