My AeAe seems to be healthy enough and made it through one frost this winter here in Sarasota, FL with little to no damage. Now that it is heating up, things are growing rapidly and I have been noticing browning along the edges of this particular plant. My other bananas don't have this issue, just the Ae Ae. Can anyone please help me understand why this one is doing this and my Dwarf Namwah, Raji Puri and Ice Cream don't have this same problem? They all get watered and fertilized the same...of course the larger plants get more. Here are some photos so you can see the problem. The leaves appear perfect when they first open and then after a few days they start to brown around the edges. What am I doing wrong and what can I do to fix this? Is it possible it is getting too much sun? If so, would it be advisable to move it to a shadier part of the yard now before it gets any bigger?

Thanks.........> Mary

And here is my first bunch from my Dwarf Namwah..so excited!
