There are a number of virus that can affect Musa species, see http://www.iita.org/c/document_library/ ... upId=25357
I suppose it is possible that yours has one of the Mosaic virus types or the Banana streak virus which looks a bit like the affects of Canna virus (there are pictures of BSV affected plants on the web).

Best keep it well away from any other nana's you may have grub. Have you tried giving it a dose of Epsom salts just to try and darken it up? if it goes away it just could have been a lack of nutrients or something..if it stays mottled...bin it! :o

It's the one out front Mark so well away from everything else, it's been like it the last v5 or so years. I've a sneaking suspicion it might be related to road gritting but not sure what I'd expect to see :oops:
