Default Re: Musa itinerans var. itinerans

Larger plants will grow outside with protection, but not without. The western European climate is very different to the U.S., our latitude is much higher and our winters longer and wetter. The main problem overwintering bananas (certainl in the U.K.) is the months of cool, damp conditions which can cause rot.
