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
