Then those should be Tinys of the dwarf Cavendish banana family. ... Banana Fuel is good but tends to be expensive with shipping. I use 10-10-10 for Tomato/garden fertilizer and then add of potassium sulfate to my plants. ... I have 9 bunches of bananas hanging now. But only two bunches are being pushed for mature bananas before freezing with extra potassium. The other bunches don't have any hope of maturing too late in the year (that's another story). But as
cincinnana said, use any of the triple fertilizers formulated for vegetable gardens.
You choices for potassium are Muriate of Potassium ( aka: Potassium Chloride) or Potassium Sulfate. Most garden centers will have Muriate of Potassium , some may have Potassium Sulfate. ... I use potassium sulfate because the sulfur helps to acidify the soil which bananas love (about 6 pH).
