Default Re: Banana noobie looking for advice

Hey, Russ! Welcome to the forum. Glad to have another Houstonian on here. There have been about 3 or 4 join in the past few months. All three of the varieties you mentioned should do well here. I have Raja Puri and Ice Cream and they are both doing well. I've never ordered from that vendor before but if you were happy with the first two you got, I can't see any reason not to continue ordering from them. There are several people on this site who have businesses selling bananas as well, including Media Hound (the owner/operator of the site). I'll be happy to share some pups as well since we're in the same neck of the woods. Where exactly are you in Houston?

As for your fertilizer question, you're still probably OK to give them light doses of fertilizer every couple of weeks until say mid-late Oct. here. I wouldn't feed them too heavily since we are heading towards the end of summer. I'd just shoot for getting them well established before winter gets here.
