Default Something wrong with my basjoo

It seems like some sort of disease or insects have got ahold of my plant. I uploaded some pics to the gallery. Has anyone seen this before?

I would say insects or slugs. Although my basjoo red had very similar damage to the leaves caused by choking...

Angry Re: Something wrong with my basjoo

This looks exactly like Japanese beetle damage that I had , particularly if they got at it while the leaf was unfurled. The damage starts out as a few chew hols and ends up just like your picture. Funny thing they only went for the Basjoo and D. Namwah. The rest unscathed.

Thanks everyone for getting back to me.

Jack - you mentioned choking. I'm wondering if this could be what's going on. I think I may have planted my musa's too close to each other. I have 3 growing here in a burried pot (about 60" in diameter.) Do you or anyone else know what the recommeneded distance is for musa basjoos or documentation around what happens when they are too close? I have a small yard and @ 23 so far so I tried to put these in groups througout the yard.

Thanks!
Byron
