Default fertilizing for great bananas

I'm new here so I'm trying to find a thread for fertilizing bananas. I should have lots this year and I want fertilizer that will help produce the best bananas I can grow in Georgia. Mine have always been small but very nice and sweet.

First of all: Welcome to bananas.org.

We have a great search engine incorporated in this website and a lot of great posts will come up if you search for fertilizer. The Wiki section also has a column dedicated just for fertilizer.
I personally use Fruit Fuel (N-P-K ratio 16-8-24) which is ideal for banana plants.

Thanks for the reply. I just ordered " Stokes Tropicals Banana Fertilizer" .. is that okay? My vagarieted lemon trees in a barrel have always looked great but I've never had lemons.

Yikes. That is a steep price. That is more than twice as expensive than what the Fruit Fuel would have cost you.
I am way too biased about the Fruit Fuel and do not want to bad mouth a competitor's product. Therefore I leave the analysis of your product for others.

Dang, I should have waited to order the fertilizer until I chatted with you guys. I have tons of bananas and I have a lot to learn. I'm in the middle Georgia area and I don't know anyone growing bananas in this area. Out of 5 years, I've only had banana's twice. I want to learn from you guys who have the experience I need. I have several varieties I bought in south Georgia.

Go to the top of this (any page has it) page.
Under the bananas.org logo is a column. At the very bottom of that column is a darker blue bar with user Cp, photo gallery, classifieds, WIKI, chats, maps, unanswered posts, new posts, search, quick links and log out.
Click on "search" , a drop down box will appear. Type in whatever you are looking for. The more specific you are (3 words or more), the more accurate results you will get.
