Hi everybody,
just found a banana with blossom and some fruits on a street in Thessaloniki, Greece. The city lies in zone 9a. so it's possible, but not common to see bananas around here. The microclimate seems to be okay, because it's 30 m (100 ft) from the sea and protected by high buildings from the cold northern winds.
If you giys could identify this plant for me and it's something interessting I would go there again and ask for a pup. The plant is about 2,5 m (8 ft) high.
Thanks
Bernd
