Would anyone know why my bananas split before they are ripe.The bananas grow about 8-9' and were here when i bought the house 7 years ago,they have large leaves and not tall like Cavendish.For the first 3 years they rippened very well but the last 4 they have split and molded when green and have lots of fruit flies.

They are lacking potassium. Give them plenty of wood ashes, K-Mag, or a well balanced fertilizer.
