Hi, I’m looking to use bananas for shade and privacy in back yard. I would like taller plants (10 -18ft?) that are easy keepers, fast growers, and if possible edible or at least useful (like using banana leaves for tamales, and other cooking purposes). Also can’t be harmful to dogs. Any ideas?
I’m really new to Musa growing, and really look forward to my first attempts. I regularly grow other edibles, including a 15 yr old potted key lime tree.
I’m an amateur chef and big time foodie, do my own canning, jams etc so if anyone wants to talk about cooking bananas info or recipes I’d love that!
We have lots of yard space, and if anybody in the area wanted to do some experiments I’d be up for that too!
The area I am looking to fill is between a concrete pool apron and a 6ft wood privacy fence.
Cost is also a huge concern.
Thanks Bunches!
