Mine do the same. Burning of the white is due to sun exposure and fertilizer. Nitrogen mostly. Nitrogen makes the whites whiter! It's the Clorox of NPK!!

It effects some way more than others. AEAE is the worst! Mine wouldn't grow at first until a variegated Musa expert (Hector) sugested that I put some shade up over it! Then it still burned in some spots until it reached 8 foot or so!!!! Florida is a little better, but still burns some. Namwa mailong and variegated basjoo will just barely burn in spots. The real Ta-Née and Variegated dwarf namwa are the 2 best by far! Fastest growers and Never burn! Always look amazing. For sure my favorite 2 of all the variegated types!

Overwatering you will see browning around the edges of the leaves. Sometime they will even curl. To me the plant looks awesome! Excellent job!
