Container Grown edible banana for PNW
both my dwarf orinoco banana and cavenish died last snow storm outside not protected. Some webiste said cold hardy 8A some say only to 9a. Well it is 9A and not 8A. PNW banana growers, what are your results. have you successfully fruited any? I'm growing only banana varieties that are smaller than my greenhouse ceiling. since I will have to bring them in to protect from frost. I would stick with dwarf varieties. Or keept them planted outside with very good protection. I don't want to take risk of wrapping them every winter. So ill take my chances of bringing them in my green house. Last winter my greenhouse was unheat. Some small bananas didn't look too happy. So i plan to keep at 60 degree heated this winter. Thank you!
