Monty's bananas · 10-14-2012, 06:06 PM

Hi

I live in texas, north Dallas.

I have several varieties of cold hardy bananas, ice cream and some others. This is my first year growing them. I think I over fertilized with some 16-16-16. The leaves are yellowing and folding down. There are burn marks too it looks like from the fertilizer on the edges of some leaves etc.

What's the best way to correct this?

Will they come back after winter?

Also some of the bananas plants are about 12' tall and we just acquired them this summer. We had do dig them up and transplant them to our back yard about a month ago. Any opinion if we should bring them in for the winter because their roots may not handle the shock from transplant to winter.

Thanks.
