Hello banana lovers!
Just found out about this site & am hoping to learn more about growing 'cold hardy' bananas here on my corn & soybean farm!
I am a farmer of corn & soybeans, but am totally fascinated with bananas!
I have been growing musa bajoos & blood bananas with amazing success for two years now.
I hope to learn more about overwintering these beautiful plants!
My wife & I have been traveling to Jamaica, West Indies now for over 30 years & that's how we got hooked on bananas!
Also would like to know if there are any other cold hardy bananas that we could try growing here in Illinois.
I will be checking in from time to time!
