Default Hi from Kamuela Hawaii
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!!

It appears you are in USDA hardiness zone 11b, not 10.

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...

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?
