To answer you guys' questions:

The black stuff around each tree is mulch, the reddish/orange material is wood chips. The soil around the plants was not dry, kinda moist. Still, I watered them all during the day. I think what made it worse than just the heat was the wind. Hot air blowing around is not good. I have several other banana plants in the front yard that were barely affected, as they were shielded by the house and some taller trees. Those photos are of my backyard, total, full exposure, south facing. I'm hoping only the leaves were damaged, and the plants will recover. Starting tomorrow, supposedly we'll get back to normal summer temperatures.
