Default Re: Banana Heatstroke?

Also, the "tropical foliage special" fertilizer I use is 24-8-16 with trace elements. If anyone is interested, I can bag some up and sell it for $3.50 a pound plus shipping. I buy it in a bulk bag from my greenhouse products supplier.
Bananas grow like crazy on this stuff! You mix it up at 200-300 ppm during the warm months, but start them off at 100 ppm when you first transplant them. It is about 1T per gallon of water for 100 ppm, 2-3T for 200-300 ppm.
