So, my "Ice Cream" bananas had that pinkish red hue for the last six months. What I figured out is that they are nitrogen deficient (Haifa Banana Micro-nutrient guide). As soon as I bumped my PH up from 4 to 6.5, and added organic fertilizer, the new leaves are very pretty. Now they look exactly like the Pisang Awak plants in the TARS catalog. So, it could be a severe nitrogen issue.
