]Hey everyone.
I'm new here, so pardon if I violate any protocols.
This year, I'm trying my hand at growing a variety of fruit trees in containers. One of these fruits is, of course, the banana, of which I have several varieties. The first one I got, and so far the largest, is the dwarf cavendish. This is the one I have a question on.
As you can see by the photos, there appears to be something amiss. This isn't impacting growth rate as it is putting out a new leaf about once a week. However, the leaves will begin to develop something similar to the picture after about a week. I've removed some of the worse growth, but I'm curious if this is an actual issue. I've been careful not to over/under water, and I'm using a banana fertilizer from Wellspring that my other varieties seem to enjoy. Some things I wonder about are if the dips in the 40s recently have anything to do with it, or the persistent wind we see in south-central Texas this time of year. Any advice would be appreciated as Google gives you a whole range of conflicting answers.
