Default Re: How much fertilizer can a banana tree tolerate?

Some members of the forum may say "pour-it-on". The fact is high applications of commercial (chemical) fertilizers can and will harm the banana plant. Mostly, nitrogen burning burning the roots. ... Natural fertilizers and compost are less likely or will not harm plants. So, keep over fertilization within reason. Some excess wouldn't hurt but is usually a waste.
