You and I are more-or-less in the same climate. Your watering is excessive unless you do not have mulch protecting the ground surface in a 2-3 foot radius around your plants. I'm currently watering my fruiting bananas once every 4 days and my deciduous fruit trees every 10 days. Of course, there are significant basins and mulch around my trees. Stop by for a visit if you like.
