Aloha
i have lived on the Big Island since 1970.
I have been an active organic gardener since then.
i grow several different banana varieties including
Apple
Williams
Maoli (Hawaiian cooking banana)
PopoUlu (Hawaiian cooking banana)
and
Lady Finger
I am having difficulty in that the lady finger banana gets bumps
i have taken it to the local ag department
and they determined it was not an insect or a disease
but it was just "like that"
anybody growing these
they are SUPER delicious

In my opinion, a somewhat poor choice for bananas, but I won't hold it against you!
WELCOME to "the 'org". We all here have the incurable disease of growing bananas ... you'll fit right in!!

Sooner or later member Gabe15 (http://www.bananas.org/member-gabe15.html) will probably chime in. He's a PhD in bananas at on the faculty at the university in Oahu.

Welcome to the banana nut club. A few years ago I was seriously planning to be your downhill neighbor but we just couldn't make it work... Beautiful area...

:0519:I think you need more variety!
You should consider getting more bananas.......
Is it just the peel that is having the issue, or does it go into the flesh?
