Everything was fine until the last 3 or 4 days then the fruit started to look like this.

Can you post a picture of the entire plant? ... I think you have Bunchy Top.

Well may be not. Last years FD of Ag reports the virus has not been found in Florida but the banana aphids are wide spread in Florida. So the previous report that I read was the result of someone else miss-identifying the virus. ref: http://www.freshfromflorida.com/content/download/70059/1633665/Banana_bunchy_top_2015_circular1.pdf

People have told me about this happening but I have never seen it myself. What is your water and fertilizer routine?
