What's wrong w/ my banana?

Dean W. · 04-27-2008, 03:07 PM

Take alook at my banana and let me know if you know whats wrong with it. I think I've been watering it properly. It was planted about a month ago. Some of the foliage may have been sunburned, but the drooping has got me.

picture is a little blurry.

dean, my basjoos and d. oriocos have done that. the new leaves that have come out have not done this. so i think its a natural thing for them to do. maybe someone with more experience can give you a better idea. jmo.

xavierdlc61887, Yes I have the dreaded Bermuda grass. I have to fight w/ it all the time. Have a hard time keeping it out of the flower beds.

hey have u ever heard of honcho well they dont make it no more but it was the same company that makes roundup....anyways i used honcho to kill all the bermuda grass i had in the front yard and it was gone i even used it around my citrus, palms, nanas and killed the bermuda

its good

if u wanna get the grass on the flowerbeds just get a dropper and only get the grass it will only kill what is made contact with

I do have some Round Up that I'm careful about using. I'd like to think of myself as organic, but sometimes I cheat just a little. They say you can use 20% vinegar to kill grass and weeds, but it dosen't work on Bermuda Grass.

In another area I used landscaping fabric to solarize and kill the Bermuda Grass.
