10 Landscaping Diamond Landscaping Palm Beach, FL
11 Fiber and Leaves Fibers are used to make furniture and baskets. Leaves were used in Ecuador as plates and for wrapping up food for cooking.
12 Fruit
13 Using Fruit
14 Best Cultural Prac3ces Sun full or at least ½ day sun. Min. 50% Variegated varie3es prefer more shade. Soil rich, well drained with lots of organic mauer. Thick layer of mulch spread as far as possible. Banana roots tend to stay near the surface and can travel 10s of feet. Water more water in warm months, but never standing water
15 Nutrients Fer-lizer Lots of organic material. Can add small amounts of ash or biochar. If not growing organically, use high potassium fer3lizer 4-6 3mes during growing season. Nutri3onal sprays Bananas remove 10 3mes more potassium from the soil at harvest compared to mangos. Even without care, you should s3ll have fruit. Greater care when the plant is young, will lead to increased fruit yield.
16 Grove Maintenance If leaf is brown or diseased, cut it off. Cut down plants a>er they fruit
17 Removing Rot
18 Fungus Remove leaves at first sign of fungus and throw away do not use as mulch
