We use a general triple 16 to 19 for the commercial landscape banana plants at the recommended application rate for landscape plants/shrubs. Some gardeners will use additional 46-0-0 for an additional boost primarily in the spring. For our zone this works out well. No added cost of micros are used. Plants are treated as ornamental perennials.
You can damage a plant and soil structure without any immediate visual effects by pushing fertilization. Less is more. Richly amending the soil around plant helps too.
Good luck growing this year...should be a banner year with all the rain.
