Re: banana diseases
There are several diseases that can cause wilt. Fusarium wilt is the likely candidate, where did you get the plants? Close-up photos will be very helpful. I am not a plant pathologist, nor am I an alarmist, but it sure sounds like something is spreading through your plantings and should be investigated ASAP!
What is your location? Have you shipped plant material to anyone else? If so, where?
This is a potentially serious issue and demands urgent attention to keep it in check, if in fact it is a disease. By your mention of the mountains, I presume that you are not in the USA. Giving us a location may help identify pathogens in your area, but also may put some of members minds at ease.
Thanks for posting this.
