Welcome Vinny!

With some perseverance and care you can have some banana fruits in Zone 7. Dwarf Orinoco is rated for Zone 7. And CA Gold is even more cold hardy, and produces more consistently than Dwarf Orinoco. There is another unidentified banana, that performs as well as the CA Gold, that the current grower simply calls - CA Hardy. It is taller than the CA Gold. It produces good bunches of bananas. Growers of these varieties sell them thru eBay or Craig's List. There are many sources for Dwarf Orinoco, including eBay.

Good luck to you.

Chong
