Default Re: Banana fertilizing

My banana plant is over 7 feet tall and the trunk is huge and very thick. The leaves are huge also. This banana is an dwarf orinoco and is expected to fruit this year possiblly in the next month. Does the banana have feeder roots inside the drip line? I read someplace not to apply fertilizer near the trunk and during active growth 1.5 pounds 6-2-12 fertilizer per month. My fertilizer is a slow release fertilizer.
