What other varieties do you grow?
Plantains are probably the most desirable meal for weevils.

That's interesting!
I grow a handful of varieties, all dessert bananas, no plantains. If you want you can see what I am growing, they are in my profile. I haven't found weevils on any other banana plant yet, I haven't dug up all of them to check, but I have dug up some old corms and dug some pups and haven't found any weevils or weevil damage.
