Hi Skids, I'm living in Norfolk, UK, don't know which climate code you'd consider that to be?!
Are there many UK / cold climate members here?

I don't know about climate codes. But seeing you're in the UK, I'd imagine cold.


Not that we can scoff here at the moment, particularly June like weather in the last few days. Last week it was nearly 30 degrees a few days in a row, last few days 15, rain and cold wind. That's life.

Hi Bananana

I live in Peterborough, just next door to Norfolk and my wife comes from Kings Lynn.

To answer your question there are a number of Brits who frequent this site and probably all of them grow Musa Velutina (including me).

There is a UK hardiness zones map in banana wiki or here is a link Plant Cold Hardiness Zone Map of the British Isles
