Default Re: black spots on stem

Many different varieties of banana plants have color on the pstem including brown and black. So the black may be normal or it could be a fungus spot. As the plant grows the outer leaf sheaf may die and turn brown to black. ... It would hurt to mist the plant with a fungicide or copper sulfate. ... I add copper sulfate & an insecticide to my foliar fertilizer mix when spraying
