Default Fertilizer 13-13-13 usage questions

This year I have the following plants/trees grown on my backyard:

* Asian Pears
* Banana trees
* Persimmon trees
* Some tropical vegetables

Due to lack of gardening expertise, I have been using the general
purpose fertilizer 13-13-13 for ALL of the above listed plants. I am
living in Dallas, TX area (zone 8) . Am I doing the right thing?
perhaps, can some of you experts comment on the above?

Thanks,

Maybe, maybe not. Take a few soil sample and have them analyzed. That
will tell you what kind of fertilizer is best for your yard. Adding
compost improves just about any soil condition, plus adds organic
matter to your yard. Realize that different plants have slightly
different needs (light, soil, water,fertilizers, and pH).
