I have a banana tree growing in a pot. It's about 12" high. After the new leaf
matures, the tip turns brown. And I don't mean just the very end tip, it's
about 1/4 to 1/3 of the end of the leaf. How can I prevent this?

Indoors?
Outdoors? If outdoors, what area?

My first thought would be cold or even frost, but all my bananas grow
outdoors in Central Florida.

Zone 5/6 Western Pa.
After looking on the internet, I'm not sure it's a banana tree. It doesn't have
those palm like leaves. I guess I should take a picture of it and try to get it
identified.
