do you need to fertilize them alot because your soil looks poor and sandy.

The soil is poor but it is solid clay, have not fertilized all summer. I added lots of leafs and shredded trees around my plants. I have lost a few due to root rot and have started planting the bananas much higher with a thick layer of mulch. Drainage, salts, and dry winds are my biggest problems. A south facing wall is a pretty hot place, it has a little shade from my small overhang but not for long the sun has started moving south quick.
