The slim, curled over new leaves on one plant suggest they might have a mineral deficiency. I have never really fertilized the bananas, so now am off to correct this!
I really appreciated watching the video and shall keep the link to remind myself how to be a better banana mother!

Scot, this might probably be a good question for you. Provided that someone lives in a colder climate, such as subtropical and somehow manages to grow bananas outside without killing them, are there any chances that those illnesses you mentioned in the movie could occur? I mean, is it possible for tropical diseases and pests to survive in a climate, where the temps can get as low as 32°F several nights a year? Or do they simply die at some point?
What about viruses and everything, that can survive in the soil, such as Black Sigatoka. Can such disease spread to above mentioned subtropical region?

Jack, some plant pathogens produce survival structures that can withstand low temperatures, so it is difficult to generalize. In my opinion it is not very likely that most of the major banana pathogens from the tropics would survive prolonged exposure to the winter temperatures you mentioned. Some nematode species or viruses might be able to survive 32F.

Howzit Scot,
I tried to access your page but I get nothing but a redirection to possible sites. Is it under construction still or just an error?
Thanks for putting it together,

Awesome vid! That was one of the first videos I came across on YouTube a few weeks ago when I was first becoming interested in growing bananas.

Thanks for making and sharing it

Sometimes I put the video on just to play in the background and provide a banana ambiance of sorts.

Even the music is great.

Remember that the music in the banana video was composed by Roy "Futureman" Wooten, a member of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

About 6 or 7 years ago, Roy was developing a new musical instrument. He came to see me one day about that, as he had attended a seminar I had given on a math topic. I showed him and discussed the mathematics of a musical scale based on plant growth that he used to create his instrument.
