As for the growing zone thing, the hardiness zone finder that some people use on this website uses their zipcode, and gives them the entire range of zones in their area. For example, if I used that one it would tell me zone 9-11, but I'm really in 10a.
I wrote variety in my original email: Musa Dwarf Namwah.

I did not mean that way about zones.

For example, someone lives in zone 8A and their Musa Dwarf Namwah has bloomed during XX month/day and then fruit ripened in XX month/day. Would be nice if someone share such info and experiences.
