I cut down a banana tree this Am because the stalk was ready and ripening. I noticed the black sooty mold on the outside of the leaves, but when it was cut I could see the entire banana leaf (all of them) was covered about 4 thick in clumps of whiteflies. Must have been several hundred on each leaf. I am ordering ladybugs today because I think there is definitely enough food for them to keep them busy for a while. Gonna do the oil spray too. I just can't stand them.
