The weather here in Low Country, SC has been very hot and dry. The lower leaves on my bananas are beginning to break and fall down around the stem. We have continues to water the trees well. Is this simply what happens as summer ends? The new leaves are slowing down at the top and the plant looks healthy except for the 3 to 5 slumping/fallen leaves.

Can I continue to add compost or should I begin mulching for winter?

Thanks for any advice/answers.
