In still new, but add I see it, most bananas will not survive long enough to fruit under cold conditions. Yes, the corm may survive with precautions, but if you want fruit you have to get a plant through a winter. Unless you use a short cycle plant. So for people in zone 8/9 or less you need either a short cycle or a cold hardy variety in order to get fruit without extreme measures (greenhouse, pots indoors over winter, heat tape, etc)
