OkieBananaNut

Howdy neighbors Strait and Gold3n, I'm here in Broken Arrow, OK. And hello to all the other Banana nuts in other areas of these fine United States.

Googled "Growing Bananas in Oklahoma" and "slipped" (*cough* *cough*) right in here. I've got a good feeling about this group - especially based on the comments here. I love growing the unusual. Have tayberries (bet you never heard of em' aye?) on the back fence and trying Goji berries now. (Guess there Okie Gojis!) Was told couldn't grow raspberries in Oklahoma. A year later? Got about a gallon of those suckers!

Bought a banana plant a few years bank, was growing great guns, then the Oklahoma heat (and not enough water....DOH!) burned it up. So I want to try again. Any suggestions on variety? I think my first try was a Dwarf Cavendish I'd also love to try and grow one outdoors bringing it in in the winter. Final goal? Edible bananas! (Of course.)
