hi, there..

.. my Cavendish becomes black spots... what are that for black spots?
... is this one illness?

Unless they are squishy/brown, I wouldn't worry. Squishiness is a sign of rot. Otherwise, it's perfectly normal for bananas to have black spots on their pseudostem. Some varieties exhibit more of these than others. For example, my super dwarf cavendish has a lot of black spots/areas, but my ice cream has nearly none.

thanks, then I am calmed, that is the most single banana with spots, that i have. With mine others are that not so. Looks however really ugly.

I agree with Byan, most of mine have no black at all but alll of the FHIA varieties (Goldfinger and FHIA 23) have a lot of black on the p- stems. Probably no trouble at all.
