Hi everyone, I joined the site today because Im determined to grow bananas that I can eat... of course I live in an area that doesnt fit the mold.
Colorado, 5B BUT... our heat here is different, yes, its not humid like Neb or TX or GA etc but many full sun plants get fried here and then the winters, well, no we dont get 100 feet of snow but we do get a bunch, its not humid etc etc etc.
Heres the question:
is there a banana that I can grow in the ground that produces fruit that we can eat that I can get through the winter and get to fruit in say 6 months of being outdoors?
I know there are people who grow them in green houses such as the Colorado Permaculture Institute etc... but... is that what Im stuck with? dont read that wrong, if I need to have a dozen dwarf cavendish plants and keep them potted and in the sun room thats fine, I was just hoping to find something I could freak my neighbors out with
