Hi from Bendigo, Australia
Hi everyone,
I havn't grown bananas before. I'm not in a traditional banana growing zone (Bendigo, Australia), but I see in this forum that there may be a cold climate banana variety suitable for here. I'm willing to give it a go. Peter. |

Re: Hi from Bendigo, Australia
Welcome! As someone who lives in a cold zone for nanas (USDA zone 7), it's definitely possible to grow em. I understand that parts of Australia have severe restrictions on bringing in bananas from outside the country, so maybe some of our other Australian members can help you.

Re: Hi from Bendigo, Australia
Hi there Peter. I'm fairly certain that you'd be able to grow most bananas. Fruiting shouldn't be too much of a worry either. I even managed to fruit a dwarf cavendish in nearly full shade here (Central Coast - 1hr north of Sydney). Lately Bunnings stores here have had several cold tolerant edible varieties. It shouldn't be much harder down there.
