Hi everybody. I'm April. I live in zone 9b, Orlando. I was given a mystery banana back in the spring. I put it in a really large pot and it has grown like crazy. (From 8" to about 6' in 10 months) I'm thinking I will put it in the ground in the spring. Right now I have it in my little greenhouse. Just not sure where to put it permanently. I have an acre south and an acre north of the house. Any suggestions. Also once i get it in the ground at what temp do I need to protect it AND how do I do that AND lastly, when will this thing start giving me bananas. Thanks all you Bananas out there. By the way is there a good ' how to grow bananas for dummies in zone 9b ' That someone could recommend.
