Here in SoCal we are lucky enough to grow banana plants in the ground almost anywhere. Do you have the space to do that? If so, you have several varieties that do well in our SoCal climate, Namwah or Mysore (Pisang Ceylon/Pisang Klotek) are good reliable beginner plants.
I have successfully grown tomato plants in those half barrels though.

I do indeed have room to grow in ground if it came to that. I guess I just liked the flexibility of being able to not have something so permanent. Is it not possible to grow and fruit plants in containers, I thought that's kind of what this sub-forum was geared around? Was I being too hopeful?
