Wow, that does not look good for a 4 yr. banana. Are you mulching? It kinda looks like a Dwarf Cavendish. I have Dwarf Cavendish and I've never had luck getting them to fruit in my zone (8b) because the cold really beats them down in my climate. I would try and find a Raja Puri or Dwarf Namwah and see if it does better for you. I think Richard is in California and he knows a lot about fertilizer and bananas, maybe he will chime in. I hope you get straightened out and on the track to getting fruit.
