Before you listen to them that say you can't get fruit from nanners in Zone 7, give this thread a gander:
Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
You indeed can get nanners without a greenhouse. It takes a bit of work, but it's possible. Of course, don't plant your new nanner in the ground just yet - plant it out, if you want, in the Spring and give it a good year's growth. Then dig it up before the first hard freeze comes, and stow it in a cool place that stays fairly reliably around 55-57F and more often than not it'll overwinter there just fine. There is a percentage of loss - so get a few more growing in your patch.
Have fun,

Zone 8 - too warm for that trick...
