Hi - I'm new to the forum -retired and trying my hand at grafting and growing edible fruit and citrus - want to add bananas and avacados to my list.
I share fruit across the fence from our apple, persimmon and fig trees with neighboring mini ponies - wondering if banana leaves are ok to give them?
Also, my banana tree grows quite large annually but doesn't fruit. don't know the variety- want to grow bananas for eating. what are good fruiting banana varieties to plant in ground for my area?
When is best time to plant? and is there a source for plants nearby?
Location: Zone 8b, Biloxi MS - between Mobile, AL and New Orleans, LA. mostly hot and humid, occassional high winds in hurricane season
a few nights in the high teens -20s F in winter - Thanks in advance for any advice.
