I have read quite a bit about how to overwinter banana, but what about when temperatures soar? In the northern Sacramento Valley it gets hot! Typically from May to September-October it's in the 90's up to 108, and every few years can get up to 115 or so. I tried to search this, but my forum-fu is weak compared to my google-fu style.

Second, I really want a good book on bananas. Is there one or two? I want a little bit of everything, light on the whole history and the blahx3, but some would be nice too. I mostly want a comprehensive little guide with info and tips etc., of growing. Maybe it lists and talks about various varieties. This will make the majority of you shiver, but I have dozens of tarantulas of all types, and we have a book (The Tarantula Keeper's Guide) that is like the bible in the tarantula hobby. It has history, care, and talks about the various types, etc. So yeah, anything like this exist for the banana world?

Thanks,
John
