I'll move it from the backyard to the front yard so that it is far away from the other bananas. Then, in a month, I will try to update the thread.

Another thought that I had was sun exposure. Will excess sun do damage like this? I seem to have issues finding examples on the web so that I can learn to identify leaf damage to bananas.
