Welcome to the Jungle...


Your frost to frost dates are 205 +- on average.
Mine, as well as other expierienced growers in our zone grow mature plants under lights and do not get edible fruit.

Great for tomatoes but not for tropical fruiting plants that take little more time in your zone

SOOOOOO.......you might want to rethink bananas.


Many members grow seasons are just a little shorter than ours and even under lights a plant will not perform as you wish and give you edible fruit.......

Your average temp as well as mine is less than the optimum growing temp for a banana plant that will give you edible fruit in one season in your grow zone.
