If you click on my username next to this post you'll be able to find details including which varieties I have. I have pups of several of those, but not all. Andy (BadPun) also lives nearby and has tons of varieties and pups.
The pro of our environment is that it never gets very cold or very hot. The con is that it seldom gets as warm as these tropical plants would like if they were going to achieve their maximum growth rates. The really tropical varieties, e.g., the Cavendish clones, some of the Hawaiian ones, etc. struggle through winter and probably aren't worth the hassle. On the other hand, many varieties like Dwarf Brazilian, the various Namwah clones (tall, dwarf, Misi Luki, etc.), and some others do great. But don't expect to see them growing at rates like the folks in Florida or the tropics get.
