I live in northwest AL. Had these for years. We dig them up every year and replant the babies. We had bananas one year, but none since. Really would like to know what kind they are. Thanks. I dont know how to post a pic. Just go to my profile and look at the images.

Likely Orinoco. Definitely something in the ABB group.

I live in northwest alabama. Is it required that i dig them up each winter? Or can they survive the cold?

Eat bananas at your house? When you do put the peel around the plant to help fertilize. The more potassium they get....the better they produce!
