Hi all,
I am thinking about purchasing a dessert banana plant.
I am concerned about the high winds we get in Southern California, known as the Santa Ana winds. We can get gusts of 80mph or more.
After looking over Encanto Farms website, I am thinking about a Dwarf Namwah plant which is one of the best rated for taste. I am not sure if it will stand up to the winds or not.
Another choice is Mysore which reads “The root system on this banana is so strong that it never blows over from high winds.” However the banana has a slightly acid flavor which I am not sure if I will like.
Any opinions?
