Three, was this HOA committee action or result of a complaint from one owner?
Four, I would request copies of the landscaping plans of the neighbors. Then see if their yards meet all HOA requirements. (which I doubt) Make complaints against them too. Especially, the Owner that complained about your bananas.
If you can stir up enough of the owners, then you might be able to get a landscaping requirements changed and/or approval for your plants. ... This is a situation where some tend to 'bluff' the requirements to get their way or make themselves a 'big-shot' in the HOA. So know exactly what the requirements are; and question the HOA why you are being single out when other owners do not meet the same requirements.

You have laid out a very good plan.
It's worth at least take a look at it.
You are absolutely right about other neighbors non compliance. Over the weekend my camera finger was itching to take pics of BBQs too close to structures, (fire code) canoes, paddleboards etc. stored on front lawns (not allowed) two storey tall trees just 12" from structures. shrubbery also too close to structures(against code), dead potted plants decoratiing patios.
