we had banana trees at our last house. their leaves dying back was normal but soon grew new ones fast & they did this at a steady rate, i would remove the dead leaves with a serrated kitchen bread knife. we'd also let them almost dry out before watering them.
harvest the bananas before they ripen on the tree
make sure the soil drains well they don't like standing water which invite mealy bugs
