Default Re: Will it choke to kill the plant?

Thanks Joe. I just ordered an orinonco [dwf] off of wbay. Anybody know where i can get a california gold. I understand that it is a descendent of dwf. Cavendish, Only more hardy.
Failing that; I have a little teeny tiny greenhouse [13ft long and 8ft wide x 5 ft high. It is not really large enough to grow a big banana plant but..... cou8ld a person carry a banana plant throuh 1 winter and get it to flower and mature a bunch of bananas, then take a pup and repeat the process, sort of like using the banana as a bienniel? Woulf thsat be a workable idea? If I kept the greenhouse temperature above 65 degrees, would the wintering banana have enough time to make this scenario workable? And, since the banana corm [mom] would throw up a follower, should I dig up the motherbulb and keep it, or replace her with just a pup?
