musas in wva

Welocme! This is my first post although I have been registered on this forum for a year. We live in West Virginia in a 5b-6a ag zone, and I have three bananas fruiting in our conservatory. Its not the angle of the sun so much as keeping them really warm. Fruiting are Rajapuri, Roja, and in the last week, Gran Nain. The author Eliot COleman points out in his Four Season Harvest, that most of the US has an even more southern latitude then the south of France, so if you can provide constant warmth, we should be able to grown anything here that they can grow year around on the Mediterranean. Good luck growing!
