7 years ago I moved from lush Virginia to the dry desert of Arizona. I purchased an ice cream banana plant that was about 6" tall through the internet. About a month ago I noticed this thing hanging off the tree. I googled and lo and behold it was the banana fruit! Now I have four of them and each time a leaf pulls up a row of baby bananas are forming! Now I need some quick education.
My leaves all the sudden are being stripped. It looks really wilty. The temps here have been in the 100's. I water almost daily but the last couple of days I've noticed the leaves being stripped. I read in one of the threads Bayer 3 and 1. Is that correct? I don't want to hurt or lose the fruit. I've also seen a few random black spots on some of the baby bananas. Should I worry? Help & thank you
