My first frost normally is first week of November. But past few years it has been last week of November. I feed all mine for the last time in September and it’s granular so takes awhile to dissolve.

yes, frosts and freezes take out some of my bananas. but before i quit fertilizing my bananas would put out leaves in between the frosts and freezes. when i stopped fertilizing the bananas stopped putting out green leaves. especially the 2nd year/last winter. and we had a really mild winter with 0 green leaves on the bananas. also, i dont have 1 banana per mat i let them get thick. and my mats were thinning out.
i am wondering if potassium might be the key ingredient and i am wondering what happens if you give them to much. i also kno that not all bananas are not the same and should not be treated as such.
