So i recently got interested in growing a banana tree in my garden and did some research and there was a lot of noise about "California Gold". Well long story short i have this California Gold tree (apparently) which my friend got for me yesterday for $20. I hope the pic attaches but its 4ft high at least.

So questions are: How often do i water it? How often to fertilize and what with? I want to plant it in the garden, when is good? And can i plant it in my front lawn? Its due south, no shade, and water sprinklers. I thought about raising it in a bed at the front as i did read not to water the plant from the top somewhere.
Any advice would be great.
