Default Re: Best Banana Type for Santa Cruz, CA

Raja Puri could be good, too, as Dean says. It isn't as tough as Dwarf Namwah in my yard, but I can't complain about it. I'd get both. They are a nice manageable height and could be protected from the cold as a result. If you want something taller, tall Namwah, "Misi Luki", and "Ice Cream" are all basically the same thing, various or the same Pisang Awak cultivars (at least the ones sold at most nurseries). They all handle the cold well and are reliable fruit producers.
