Your 10A zone is characterized by cold and sometimes freezing winter temperatures, with warm but low humidity summers. Tropic conditions for bananas have record low temperatures of 55-65F and non-winter humidity over 90%. That humidity acts like a warming oven, whereas our lack of humidity causes warmth to be stripped away by ocean breezes.

This thread is mainly about what banana plants are blooming in your garden. For more information on cultivars for southern CA, please find one of the existing threads or start a new one.
