I planted 1 in another flower bed and it is green and fine so I think it was the chips. Also can anyone Identify the type of banana plant and if it will produce bananas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- Chris

I think the problem is your pool water,chlorine maybe. A couple years back I flushed pool water into my banana mates and got exactly the same as in your pic.The bananas eventually grew out of it. I think you need to rake up all the mulch for tarterss
