Banana plants falling over

terrisofla
13 years ago

I have two groups of Dwarf Cavandish and live in Broward County near the Everglades. My trees did not bloom all year, I suppose due to the cold winter we had last year, but now are all blooming at the same time. I didn't count, but I would say there are about 10 bunches of bananas right now. I've had a problem for the last couple of years with the trees falling over when they fruit. Does anyone know why this happens? Would some fertilizer help? I also have black spots on leaves and fruit. Copper fungicide usually helps. Does anyone else have to spray their trees with copper? Thanks for any help...
