Re: attempt to breed cold hardy fruiting bananas
This topic has been discussed many times in the past. Dwarf namwah and dwarf orinoco would be the best two edible candidates to cross with either sikkimensis, yunnanensis or velutina. Velutina would probably be the top pick due to being corm hardy to cold temperatures and being able to pup to fruit in one season instead of two. Dwarf namwah will set seeds if pollinated also. You’ll need a decent greenhouse to have a chance. Can’t succeed without trying! Good luck
