Update: I want a dwarf namwah, and I'm having a hard time finding any in stock on websites. Is it hard to find in general, or just the wrong season to look for one?
Hi. I feel in over my head reading about the different kinds of bananas that I could get. I didn't realize there were more than the supermarket cavendish until two days ago! I don't have any ground areas to plant large plants at my current place, so I was looking at dwarf varieties for containers to start out with. I was ready to get a dwarf cavendish, but then read that they and other dwarf musas don't usually produce fruit because they are delicate to even cool temperatures or something. I really could use some guidance.
Looking for banana varieties that are:
1. Edible sweet ones (From what I understand, they aren't all sweet??? Whoa.)
2. Dwarf, container-friendly
3. Growable in LA county (Zone 10) [Winter lows get to about 40 degrees F usually.]
If I get a thriving banana plant that produces pups, I would have an excuse to get more pots.
