I hope some of the old time members or a moderator will inform me and others --at what LOW temperature do bananas STOP growing?? also at what HIGH temperture do bananas STOP growing?? Please inform me of the ENGLISH meaning of the many Hawaiian or souteast Asian non-latin names of species or cultivars? These subjects have probably been discussed before I applied for "membership"Don Hudsdon

It is said that (however it STRONGLY varies with different cultivars) when the nanas are exposed to these temperatures for longer time, they start...:

individual down limit < TEMP < 10°C (50°F) => bananas stop growing
10°C (50°F) < TEMP < 16°C (61°F) => bananas slow their growth significantly
16°C (61°F) < TEMP < 34°C (93°F) => optimal banana temps, bananas grow continuously and healthily
TEMP > 34°C (93°F) => bananas stop growing again

Optimal shooting temps: 26 - 28°C (79 - 83°F), optimal flowering and fruit ripening temps: 29 - 31°C (84 - 88°F)

I hope this answers your questions. ;)
