diseased dwarf banana

 Hi There:

I have Googled this and haven't come up with anything useful.  I'm told that
my dwarf banana plants are diseased but I haven't found any descriptions or
pictures resembling that which "plagues" my plants.  They are growing great
and I didn't think there was a problem.  There is not enough light for them
to ever fruit even when I put them outside in the summer so its not like
I'll be eating them.  Basically, the stalk is mottled.  Does anyone know of
a site that I can look it up on?  Should I destroy them?  It is not
spreading to anything else.

Many Thanks
Sally

 

Sally...Have a look at this sight !...I come from Oz
(Sydney..Australia )...I didn't even know that any Bananas could be grown in
a cold climate like yours !

 anybody know how the dwarf bananas do in tub culture?  the reason I ask is I
have had
very good luck with figs.  http://weloveteaching.com/landscape/figs/figgrove.htm
I had RIPE bananas in california many years ago and they tasted completely
different
than what I get in the store.  I was hoping I could grow em in tubs and move them
into the heated garage for winter.  Ingrid
