I have several holes in the bottom of the pots and it drains very well, so I dont think I'm over watering. Here's what the whole tree looks like. The leaves come out with this brown area. The brown is stuck together and does not let the leaf unfold and when it finally tears and opens the area dies quickly.



Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm asking the experts. Is there any chance this is a fungus like Black Sigatoka Disease or any others. I just can't figure out why it is effecting only 2 of my 7 bananas. I now have a second banana that the new leaf coming out has it also. All plants are fert the same and watered the same and get about the same sunlight. All potted plants were potted the same way. With rocks on the bottom and a manure/topsoil mixture. Also it is so far just in the potted plants, it has not affected any of the ones in the ground. Thanks
