I am interested finding out if there are some bananas that will over winter good indoors?

specifically:
- Icecream (or NamWah)
- Grand Nain
- Dwarf Cavendish

I remember seing some people growing them indoors all year round but forgot which ones they were.

Anyone can share their experiences?

Thanks

Most of them should. Depends on climate indoors.

You probably want to stick with the shorter varieties.Ice Cream gets pretty tall

They are all quite small pups, so size is not an issue.
Indoor climate is normal 72-74 degrees. I will have some in a more dormant stage in the garage but it would be nice to grow some indoors over winter.

As per my opinion the Dwarf Cavendish will be the best one. One of my friend had grown the Dwarf Cavendish through the year and it was giving him very good results.
