Default Re: What varieties of Bananas do you Raise??

....trial and error LOL

most bananas have to be cut down after the first hard freeze. hardier types like sikkimensis and basjoo i just remove the crowns. i mulch for the winter and most come back by spring. velutina reseeds to the point of weediness!

i can tell you that cavendish, roho/zebrina are marginally hardy. 'royal red, beccarii, ele ele, and tuugia dont seem to be hardy at all.
