Default Re: Bananas in a Greenhouse in SE Michigan

I got bananas to fruit in Salt Lake City (see avatar). I didn't have 12' vertical space though. Most of the dwarf varieties got too big for my greenhouse. I had good luck with every variety I planted. They love the humidity, heat, and zero wind stress of a greenhouse.

I put a 300 gallon salt water aquarium in the greenhouse. I would highly recommend a large volume of circulating water as a heat sink. It was amazing how much money the aquarium saved me on the gas bill. I can get more specific if requested.
