New leaves with black edges - Help Please

Hey all!

I'm actually growing my basjoo up here near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. :) This year it is in a pot, but next year I intend to plant it in the ground. I'll pull out and bring it in in the winter since it can get as low as -31F here (-35C).

I'm noticing a problem with my plant and hope someone can help me out. The leaves on my plant... even fairly new leaves are developing some black edges. Black like soot. I'm wondering if it's leaf rot or something because even some of the larger pups that it's produced (3) have started showing it too.

I wonder if it's too much water. It's rained a few days here and I've just left it outside. We had a warm spell a week ago, 86F with humidex in the low 100F, but it has since cooled back down to high 60's, low 70's. Maybe the water just isn't evaporating fast enough?

Anything you can let me know would be apprecaited! Thanks for such a great forum. I'm really enjoying growing bananas and hope my pups do well so I can have a few more next year!
