Not really, because potatoes and tomatoes are both grown all over the
UK; unlike Cavendish bananas. Its unlikely that airborne tropical fungal
spores from commercial banana acreage in the tropics, will reach here;
or survive.

Ah, but what about the tons of Banana skins thrown away daily in this
country, is that not a potential point of entry? Are they fumigated against
fungi spores before entry here?
We compost our skins, hot humid conditions in our heap!
