Q.Why Don’t My Bananas Develop But Wither And Die With Micro Bananas On The Stalk?

Zone palm bay, FL | Anonymous added on September 19, 2021 | Answered

The banana trees die after bearing fruit; however, the pod opens and there are little bananas and then they wither and die… WHY? They don’t really develop, are micro, but never reach the stage to be picked.
