Joy Hello fellow banana tree lovers!

I am a newbie to growing banana trees, literally got my first 4 today. Musa Basjoos. They are about 6-8" tall not counting the leaves. I am expecting a Grand Nain tree tomorrow.
I live on the gulf coast of Texas, in Corpus Christi. My soil is very sandy and add to that the extreme heat and drought conditions. I am probably crazy to try to grow banana trees!
I have a pool with several Queen Palms around it and thought it would really add to the tropical atmosphere to have some bananas as well. Plus I have to feed my banana bread habit
I have plenty of questions and you will be hearing a lot from me soon. Wish me luck!

Enjoy it here and learn all you can. Mulch a lot and water every other day at least. Also, I think Basjoos are not edible, but I could be mistaken... I do not grow them. Look for Brazilian, Orinoco and Namwah... All strong growers and cold hardy.

Varieties I supposedly bought: Manzano, Cavendish, Blue Java, Sweetheart, and Gros Michel.
What it seems I actually have: Brazilian, Cavendish, Namwah, Dwarf Red, Gros Michel, Pisang Ceylon, Veinte Cohol and SH 3640, and American Goldfinger. FHIA 1, Paggi and FHIA 17... Always room for one more.

You're right about the Basjoo. They are ornamentals.
Thanks for the welcome message!
