I'm looking to grow a good-tasting banana in a container in Austin, TX.

What do you think - Raja Puri or Dwarf Namwah?

It sounds like the Raja may be more cold tolerant. I plan to cover, move, and/or heat the plant when the temp goes near freezing. I'm also not an experienced gardener and I've read that the Raja is hardy.

Does the Dwarf Namwah taste a lot better?
