Bananas in northern california?
Hi, I'm at 94930 US (9b hardiness) and was thinking of trying a banana plant outside. I was wondering what edible varieties might be recommended? As another weather data point: I also have a 'little cado' avocado plant that I have had for a couple of winters with no cold damage and in theory that is only supposed to have average tolerance to 28F. (Which is about as low as it gets, though it can have unusual years and get a little colder)
I guess in theory I could do something in containers, I have a large sunny deck - and move inside on frost nights. But it would need to fit in the house and I would like to try and get fruit. Not sure if that works in containers?
Goldfinger and Rajapuri seemed like they might work? I've only done limited research though so wanted to ask you all if it would even be worth trying.
