Hello Everyone,
I Am New To Growing Bananas. I Bought My First Plant Two Months Ago, Purchased 20 Since. I Am Really Getting In To This. Now I Want A Greenhouse. I Am Wondering How Much, A Simple Unheated Greenhouse Will Help In Growing Bananas, In San Diego. Do I Even Need One, Zone 10 , I Think. Any Information Is Appreciated.
Thank You

You are zone 10 in terms of low winter temps, allowing you to grow a wide variety of subtropical bananas without shelter. But, your minimal high temperatures and short period of summer heat restricts you to those that will ripen in a relatively short period of time. A few miles inland from you Jon (pitangadiego) is growing 200 bananas without a greenhouse. Up at Quail Botanical Gardens you can walk down "Banana Boulevard" and see very old plats of bananas doing just fine in the open. You would only need a greenhouse if you became ill enough to desire growing some truly tropical varieties.
