# My Java ice cream blue banana tree has gone downhill in the past…

_Posted by Janet McDonough on 2026-08-11_

My Java ice cream blue banana tree has gone downhill in the past month. The bottom leaves are coming off and the rest are splitting and also yellowing and browning @ the edges. I can’t figure what’s going on with it. I’ve been following Planta’s suggestions but can anyone help me what they think by looking at the photo what might be the problems are?

Thank you so much for any help and suggestions…

Janet
