I went ahead and buried some dog poop with a post hole digger 24 inches from my then small banana plant. Other than a little mulch this year I added nothing else. Last november after at least 5 years the nana had only 5 leaves. Last time I counted after the dog poop amendment was 9 leaves in july. I did also reduce the shade and perhaps the increased sunlight also helped. I wrapped the stem this last winter and left part of upper 5th leaf from last year alive. I am now a firm believer in dog poop for nanas. I tend to for better or worse think outside of the box, but I do appreciate criticisms and advice that are freely given.
