Default Re: Should i put it in the ground now ?

I think I'll try with a dwarf namwah (or maybe a dwarf namwah & a dwarf orinoco) sooner or later. Overall, at my place, it looks like it can outshine dwarf orinoco on cold hardiness. Dwarf namwah seems to keep a good growth consistently even on low temperatures, has big bunches seems to ripen faster, so to me looks like a winner even on dwarf orinoco. But i must admit that i have yet to try them side to side.
Maybe next year.
I don't have many illusion. Central Italy is consistently colder than Spain, expecially if far away from the sea like my place. Even in souther italy (from Naples to the southernmost points) there are "wild" bananas, but they stop just at the south of Rome. In my place they are unheard of (except for the basjoos, of course).
