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.
