Default Re: Looking for new Cold tolerant bananas

Thanks for the share. These look great! I may have to try some. Luckily storage space isn't an issue, but unfortunately yard space is. I don't have enough yard for everything I want to try. Luckily we may be moving to south or central Florida in the next few years, so I'll have hopefully more yard and better temps for bananas.

I pulled the plants out of the basement for the shot.

All plants are mature plants for my zone and will handle cooler temps of a basement or protected garage for the winter.
They will not handle cold temps... these are not cold hardy like a Basjoo.

Plants shown in Small Bordelons(not dwarf) rear, Truly Tiny in center. Little Prince on each side

Dwarfs for me are easy to manage/overwinter indoors and have a small footprint so you can tuck them in your landscape design. Great knee high visual interest.

Great puppers also.

I do not have any to share at the moment but I wanted to stress how easy they are to care for since you were looking.
