I'm currently growing some Apple bananas I planted last spring. I got some fairly good size corms from ebay and have sprouted a lot of pups from them. I have them planted in two corners of my yard. Got some frost damage the past month but are now currently pushing new leaves again since we've been getting high 70's temps.
April 2014 - emerging from the ground
June 2014
October 2014
January 2015 - frost protection on before the freeze.
other corner wasn't protected with frost cloth but it didn't get much frost damaged since it's in a protected spot under the Canary palm.
January 23, 2015 - pushing new leaves out.
I also bought small pups from the fall rare fruit growers plant sale. got a Raja puri and a thousand finger pup. I'll be planting them in ground once it warms up some more. I'm also currently trying to acquire a dwarf namwah. I've read that they do pretty well here especially during the summer months.
