greetings! any other zone 5's out there?
 
I started Musa cavendish ‘Super Dwarf’ in a 12"pot last year - it only grew to about 18" & no fruit. I overwintered it indoors with southern exposure. Any tips?

I have a new Musa ‘Rajapuri’ & want to know if planting in a raised bed (I have clay soil - nutrient rich and not prone to being waterlogged) OR planting in an 18" pot would be more likely to allow it to yield fruit ---with southern & western exsposure.

You can plant them out side for summer, but will need to dig up move them back inside to overwinter, or build heated shelter around them!

In Zone 5 but all of my bananas are in containers for now. Moving in a month to zone 10.
Best of Luck!

Las Vegas, near Damacles. Moving there end of June or first part of July. Nothing grows there but cactus, but I am going to find a way.....
Wish me luck.
Thanks.
