Is it in a pot or in the ground? Do you have pictures of it?

Now that’s it been outside in the sun and wind I suspect..  
1\. The Nursery was to humid  
2\. There’s three bananas tree in one 3 gal  
3\. They were watering to high because the drinks were “gooey“ but have seemed to dry out a lot I pushed cinnamon into a hole on one that was black 🫣

They look healthy to me. In my experience when they have dry spots on the leaves they dried out a little too much at the time the leaf was developing. The older leaves as they age often discolor as well and I just cut them off. When they’re in active growth they need a lot of water and fertilizer. It’s not uncommon to water everyday or even multiple times a day depending on the temp/sun exposure. But from the pictures they look good.
