I really will struggle to get fruit I think because of our climate but even some small ornamental or just a healthy beautiful tree will suffice  |
A single bag product would be 20-5-30 Banana Fuel or similar, but that is not likely an off-the shelf product in the UK since Banana farming is not a big operation in the UK. Banana Fuel is a custom blended fertilizer here in the US. ... Common gardening/vegetable fertilizers should work well for you with either supplements for nitrogen or potassium as needed. The micro-elements can be bought separately as a supplement if needed.
I'm not in the UK so I can not just point to one particular product and say use that. As I posted, I use a triple balanced blend (10-10-10) and supplement the Potassium. I'm sure a triple type is available for you.
