Default Re: Trying again in Charlotte- any tips/advice would be MUCH appreciated!!! TY!

sddarkman619 is a good go to, to buy plants.

while i am way south of you winters for me breaks my back. of the hundreds of varieties that i have bought there are some varieties that take my winters well.

raja purie is the best.
then orinoco
next, praying hands.
sh3740
pisang awak/variegated namwa

the snow banana/ensete glaucom which is not a banana really does winters well. its a very interesting plant.

i also should say that i have gotten raja puriem, orinoco, praying hands to fuit respectively. i also have had dwarf brazilian and pitu to fruit but yet to eat one. and i have a kandarin that wintered well that has a 7 ft. p-stem.
