Default Re: Looking for Opinions on Banana Choices

I am zone 9b

I had bad luck with my Williams, It died back twice when the temp dropped below 40 at night. I would avoid it, but it could just be my bad luck but when the plant gets 6'+ it gets a little hard to protect it from the cold.

Goldfinger does real well in my area, I would give Goldfinger a try I am sure you will have good luck with it.

Dwarf Cavendish is like a Williams but a little more hardy, I have seen them to well in my area also.

Red Iholene will be good to add some color and I have heard they taste pretty good. I would go with Red Iholene or Dwarf Red Jamaican just because of feedback I have heard about taste.
