Hi again, Xavier,

on second thought, although situated just south of the equator, I found it very hard to believe, that a small island surrounded by the tempering influence of the Pacific waters can be too hot for bananas. So I looked up your weather. It is for Monday through Friday forecast for daily max. of 84^F and a low down to 69^F. My Musa Basjoo and every self-respecting banana, I have ever met, would love these temperatures. I have seen bananas survive in Egypt at temps. of >50^C (>120^F)

Therefore, I believe we can safely rule out 'heat stroke'. How do other Bananas do in your neighbourhood?

Best,
Olaf
