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

I use a 15-5-30. As for amount..thats a bit differant. It is a water sol fert but i apply it dry 1 or 2 table spoons per plant every other week. I come back and water it in with the hose..and the rain takes the rest of it down in the mulch when it rains.

I have not had any ill effects but i have seen the choking on other plants when applied to heavy. I may go a bit OD with it but no harm has been done so far.

I say just watch your plant, see how fast its growing..leaf a week..2 leaves a week..and judge yourself..i will say they will handle ALOT of food before bad things happen. At least in my yard anyways
