![]() Where are you located?
Are your bananas in pots (what size?) or in the ground? How much and how often are you watering? ![]()

![]() North County San Diego.
Plants are in ground. Now that the weather is warming, I am watering 2 to 3 times a week. With a deep watering once a week. Prior to that I wasnt watering as much due to the colder weather and season rain. Please help.lol. Im worried about this black shriveling growing to all the fruit and im once again fruitless. ![]() |

![]() You and I are more-or-less in the same climate. Your watering is excessive unless you do not have mulch protecting the ground surface in a 2-3 foot radius around your plants. I'm currently watering my fruiting bananas once every 4 days and my deciduous fruit trees every 10 days. Of course, there are significant basins and mulch around my trees. Stop by for a visit if you like.

![]() I second the overwatering. It's rot or mold I would say.
