BBTV isn't known to be present in FL, so if you had it you would be the first ever, which is extraordinarily unlikely.


In looking at your photos, you definitely do not have BBTV. To me it looks like either one of two things, calcium and/or boron deficiency (they present very similar symptoms and can also occur in tandem), or Cucumber mosaic virus which infects a wide variety of plants and occasionally jumps to bananas.

Have you had healthy mature plants thrive and fruit in your exact location before, or are all of the plants you see it on new and young? I ask because if you've been able to have healthy vigorous plants growing in your location with your practices before, it's highly unlikely for a nutrient deficiency to randomly pop up (unless you introduced a new practice or additive to the soil), which would point to CMV potentially, whereas if they are all young plants and this is your first time growing then your soil may not be amended correctly for bananas.
