Just search on here and read people's experiences.

Honestly it will be very hard fruiting a banana where you live. I'm not saying it can't be done just that it will take some work. I would suggest a dwarf Orinoco. They are the most cold hardy seedless banana. Great starter banana.

I wouldn't get a truly tiny/little prince/super dwarf cavendish. Research shows they are the same and nothing can prove they are not all super dwarf cavendish. I have never successfully fruited mine in 4 years.

I'm not a commercial seller I'm just a banana lover and collector. Before you buy a TC private message me and I will send you whatever you decide. I sell most of my pups for $10 plus shipping ($10 for 1. $20 for upto 4) via priority mail flat rate boxes. I already have extra pups and whithin a month I will be throwing away pups lol.
I need to step in here Taylor truly tiny/little prince/super dwarf cavendish are not the SAME !!! The Super Dwarf is a heavy Producer of Bananas and only get 3 to 4 foot tall, the Truly tiny has not produce for me and I have some in ground even . So I don't what research you have read But I grow them . When growing Banana in containers you need to deal with Mature height so it has time to fruit it takes 120 days most of the time after the bloom
