I was wondering, which banana would be the most tolerant to dry conditions and still produce good fruit?
I was assuming a tropical climate, so it'll be warm enough all year round, but rainfall would be limited.
What minimum annual/monthly rain would be sufficent, if irrigation wouldn't be possible or only in emergencies?
