We grow all sorts of plants including lots of native and Ohio endangered species that we get from the Nature Conservancy, also grow "giant" sunflowers, 1000 pound pumpkins, 20 foot plus corn, you name it! (Yes we are one of those crazy people who do that sort of thing). We do have a lighting setup with full spectrum lights and sun rooms, we also grow wild blueberries, black raspberries and goji berries, and supposedly bananas are basically a giant yellow berry (botanically speaking) so figured why not give it a go! Seriously though it would be something "different" to grow something so tropical here in Ohio. I started seeing advertisements with people growing fruiting bananas in their homes, then jumped on the idea of something even better than the Cavendish they all sell, and always wondered what the Gros Michel was like. But being able to grow any cultivar to significant fruiting would be something.
