Default Re: Hello from Southern California

Welcome Big Tony. People definitely grow bananas in the SF Valley, despite the hot, dry summers, and the occasional winter freezes. I live in Ventura but work in Northridge and see banana plants in the Valley, on my drive to work, producing fruit. You might want to try a "Misi Luki" (the non-Mysore type) -- those in the know say it stands up to your challenging weather better than most.
