Default Re: Newbie looking for advice on two trees

Welcome to the forum. Go to the Member Introduction forum to tell us a little about yourself.

Your banana mats are very thick and competing for water & nutrients. Bananas need lots of water and fertilizer if you want fruit. And most all banana varieties do not tolerate dry soils (nor WET/flooded soils) and drought contitions. Also, bananas do not tolerate high heat; ... at high 90's and 100s the leaves may sunburn. .... So the question is: What were you mid/late summer conditions and rain fall? This also effect fruiting.

Your bananas looks to be Orinoco and the fruit is about filled out. Some watering here will help. ... The yellow leaves are gone, but with some mat thinning, fertilizer and watering during dry spells you will see much improvement next year.
