In my area of the country, besides ordering online, there are no banana plants for sale in my city, ive tried to look, and the closest thing i could find are these ( i was hoping a musa acuminata, or even a basjoo).
Now that being said, I would like to try tro grow one outdoors, at least fo the summer. I am just waiting for the seeds to germinate. What would be the best location outdoors for this plant, even as an annual. Also, germinating instrctions on the pack are vague, and all the info ive foundonline is a bit scetchy, and once again vague. So any info on germinating them would be great.
THanks ( thank god its almost summer)

out of all the Bananas they are one of the easeast to germnat a strate 84deg fh would be good they do take time to gemnat up to a year but most should pop in as lital as 3 moths iv had some come up in 3 weeks
they dont like to get wet up top so let them dry betwean waterings as far as them being an anual its alot of trubal for that they can live for 5 years or more there norml mature hight is 20+ ft not 9 unless you have a dwarf viriaty
id think in your location full sunn would be best they like it warm 84deg fh is perfict they slow groth above 95 ish the wiky has tuns more info on EV look there its wirth the time
