I live in middleburg. but I am relatively new to banana land, so I do not have any fruit yet. also do not have Pisang Ceylon yet but I have Gros Michel growing.
Mostly because I'm curious about the taste, but also too impatient to wait 18 months to grow one.

If I like it I would consider planting one or two in the spring. I have an unknown banana now which survived last winter's frost (I live in North Florida) without any effort, but the year before every banana plant for miles around died off because we had a hard freeze. So I'm sure I'd have to take precautions if I had Gros Michel. Just want to see if it's worth the effort.
