Thank you for the reply.
Here in the Sonoran Desert the sun is the most intense in the late afternoon. It gets above 120 degrees in the summer and for a few days below freezing in the winter. I chose the southeastern exposure hoping that it would give the banana the morning sun (less intense) and afternoon shade (from the more intense sun). Also since it gets quite cold in the winter time, I think that a northern exposure might be too cold during those months. Is my though process wrong on this? Is anyone else growing bananas in this environment who might be able to shed some light on whether this was/is a bad exposure choice for these banana plants?
