A member of a rarefruit group I belong to posted this question and I thought she could be well-served with advice here. Since I have not read about such a problem, I thought I'd like to know about it myself. She is from Naples, FL.

I have one large clump of bananas that has been thriving and fruiting
well for the past several years. I wish I could remember the variety name.
At any rate, this year, as soon as a stalk flowers and sets small
fruit, the stem rots and dies. This happens only to fruiting stalks.
The others are fine and healthy. It has happened repeatedly over this
summer.
It is not borers. I have had those before. It seems to rot near the
middle of the stalk and then fall over and the whole thing rots away.
Any comments or suggestions would be really appreciated.
