What are the bkack spots on my bananas ?

figafita · 11-28-2009, 08:52 PM

I need some advise/help with my bananas . I was out of town for two weeks and when I came back I noticed black spots on them. What's going on ?
Please help.
Thanks,
Pat

The new leave on the bigger banana ( last picture) is mostly with no black spots.

Thanks, Greg for links. In those posts somebody said is fungus and others said is cold. So which one is true? The banana I have and are affected: Dwarf Cavendish, Raja Puri, Ice Cream, Double Mahoi and Green-red

Given that you have a Rajapuri and an Ice Cream affected, I'd say it's cold - those cultivars are quite resistant to fungal diseases. Also, the spotting is affecting primarily old growth, and the new leaves aren't spotted. In the fungal leaf-spot diseases, the new growth would also be affected, and the older leaves not so much.
