Fish emulsion is a great fert to use. Musa are high potassium feeders. Throw all your banana skins around the base of your P-stems. Older mature trees that have already bloomed should be allowed to stand in place until they have 'shrunk' back into the ground- all of its stored energy will return back into the mat! Any cut leaves or discarded parts of the plant can be used as a mulch or mixed back into the ground around the base of the P-stem also.
