My soil is quite clayish.

I live in South Africa and would import seeds if needs be.

The local nursery sells Williams Bananas.

Any advice would be appreciated
It would depend some on if you want them for the fruit or just for landscaping and the size of plants you want. Being local a Williams may be a good one to start with.
