Question Time to STOP???

Hello

With October almost upon us I was wondering when to stop fertilizing my nanna's. I'm here in South Lousiana just north of Sin City (New Orleans)

Thanks in advance for your comments and advice

It all depends on when growing season typically ends and the plants start slowing down. I fertilize last in October in SoCal.

My usual frost is in early November, I live on the edge of Zone 7b, almost Zone 8a. I put the last chicken manure on my bananas about 2 weeks ago. So Ive stopped putting fertilizer down on my bananas. December should be right for you. What is the avg last frost date in your area? I leave about month fertilizer free before its time to put them to sleep.

When the average daily temp (not your daytime high) is in the 50's your banana plants won't be growing appreciably. Stop fertilizing at a point early enough that you avoid having excess nutrients in the soil when the bananas aren't growing.
