Hi everyone, I am a newbie to banana plants but am eager to get started. I was wondering if you guys could help me out with some tips on which banana plants to start out with? I live in central Ca 9-10, I am looking for a smaller banana plant that grows 6-8 ft and has edible bananas that I can grow in a pot. Thanks for any replys

Hey and Welcome!!!!
I like growing Goldfinger.. It is a very hardy plant has high wind resistance and some cold tolerance, grows to about 12 ft. Mine hasn't produced bananas yet but I should have some this coming summer...

A few of us are trying out the Dwarf Lady Finger, why not give it a shot. It's claimed to easily fruit while growing in a pot.

Your easiest option is a standard 'Dwarf Cavendish', they are one of the most common banana plants you can buy and stay small and will fruit in a container very easily.

Thank you guys for the quick replys, what do you guys think about the dwarf brazilian and dwarf orinoco trees? and how big of pots do you suggest these be put in?
