Thanx guys! Jeeps, I really had my facts all mixed up. Even thought Virupakshi was zone 7. Definitely appreciate your info & setting me straight
.
Will check into Musa Velutina/Dasycarpa & see how I can work with that one.
Thanx again!
It's now same day at 6:25 am. Checked the wiki. Great pics & info on Musa Velutina! Just what I've been searching (almost a month) for!
Still very interested in learning more about the India bananas, although, I doubt I'd have much luck growing them here.
