Hello Banana Community,

I have just located this website and have started reading about bananas. I am just in the very beginning phase of studying how to grow bananas. I would like to keep the plants in large containers (I found one W25 and depth 21") and hope this can keep the height manageable 6-8 range. I may move soon. I also wonder if there needs to be supports to hold the fruit if the plant is in a container?..errr.

Anyway just picking the coldest varieties so far I see
Dwarf Orinoco, Giant Plantain African Rhino Horn, and Double Mahoi (not sure of the zone for this) Any thoughts?

Thanks
