Re: How much fertilizer can a banana tree tolerate?

Almost the same cycle I use. Mature adults get 10-10-10 once a month. Then every 10 days I mix 1/4c urea and 1/2c sop per 5 gallon bucket, per tree. The ground bleeds, volcanoes erupt, but the...

Re: 1000 Fingers - Is this Typical?

It's a tricky one to grow in my area. Just a touch to much fertilizer and it locks up like a seized engine. Otherwise it's a very nice plant

Re: How much fertilizer can a banana tree tolerate?

Lol. I just buy the bagged manure and give a nice mound around each plant.
If you don't want to use 10-10-10, try "citrus-tone" I've had good results with it

Re: Recommendations on Fertilizers please

I apply about 1 lb of 10-10-10 every month to mature plants. Every 2 weeks I mix 1/4cup urea & 1/2cup potash to 5 gallons of water per plant. Buy your urea & potash at a irrigation supply
