Fertilizer Placement?
On a tree like an apple tree, the drip line is used as a guide for placement of dry fertilizer. Where do you place dry fertilizer on banana plants from small plants to fruiting height?

Re: Fertilizer Placement?
I tend to stay within 4 feet of the trunk (I guess, I dunno, I've never really paid attention!) but they do send roots out quite a ways just under the surface. And it certainly won't hurt if you go a little further than you think you should.

Re: Fertilizer Placement?
Thanks guy's for the replies. I would have thought you might use the thickness of the pseudostem to figure out how far out to go. I did read where the roots can go up to 10 feet out.
