Re: What bananas are most heat tolerant?
good point all of you i spray my patio down at 2 every day that drops the heat allot and i do have lots of walls around my garden to protect all of my plants for the punishing winds that often sweep throw Vegas in the spring and lat winter i was told that Musa ice cream (Blue Java) is Farly heat tolerant alsow Keep my nanas in pots and Lewsly rap all my pots with shade cloth to keep the sun from heating the roots up or i put the pots in to the grownd i alsow always mulch and add polimer beads to the pots that helps even out the mosture i know sounds like a lot of trubal but if u want to gardin its a way of doing it and alot of plants do adaped after that critical first year you just have to exsept that in the desert thers going to be 25% loss no mater what you do alsow i dont feed alot in the moths of july agust sept most plants arnt realy growing ther just wating for the heat to go but im thinking based on the winter and veary cold spring that its going to be a really cool summer all bet it never gos over 105 this year and with care im sure a banaba can serviv 105 after all were they are nativ to gets to over 100 alot hay and in th end if u cant grow nanas thers lots of stuff u can grow
this is an after thought you could just bring them inside for the realy hot part of the year and alsow i forgot dont plant any thing deliced nest to the street the black top reflects a lot of heat
